Wolves have signed Nathan Collins from Burnley for £20.5m.

The highly-rated Republic of Ireland defender has signed a five-year deal at Molineux with the option of a further 12 months.

Wolves technical director Scott Sellars said: "We've looked at Nathan for a while. We think we've signed a player with a lot of potential, as well as being a very good footballer now.

"We're getting someone who is physically very good, very tall, very athletic, and is very comfortable on the ball - he can step in and take the ball forward, which is what we need. He's very good in both boxes and has real aerial strength.

"The feedback on his personality is about his leadership qualities, he's a good character, so he ticks all the boxes. He comes across as expected, a humble young man who is appreciative of the opportunity, so we're all going to be very happy."
