Bundesliga club Werder Bremen are interested in signing Nigeria defender Jamilu Collins from relegated Paderborn this summer.
According to reports in the German media, the Greens are looking to strengthen their defense and have identified the Nigerian as an ideal candidate for their left-back position.
Collins was impressive in the 2019/20 Bundesliga season, getting involved in 416 duels – the second highest in the league – notching one goal and two assists for Paderborn.
Schalke have also been credited with an interest in Collins but Werder Bremen are reported to be ahead in the race to land the Nigeria international.
Collins joined SC Paderborn as a free agent in September 2017 following his exit from the Croatian club HNK Rijeka.
He has one year more on his current deal with Paderborn and is valued at €2.4 million by transfer market experts.
