Tottenham accelerating sudden move to sign rivals' captain: report
Briefly

Tottenham Hotspur remain active in the transfer market after Marc Guehi reportedly rejected Spurs to join Liverpool. Thomas Frank has started strongly with tactical flexibility, using a 3-5-2 then reverting to a back four in early matches. Spurs have signed Mohammed Kudus and are close to signing Eberechi Eze. Brentford captain Nathan Collins is now being targeted to bolster Tottenham's defense after last season's injury crisis exposed centre-back depth issues. Collins impressed at Brentford since joining from Wolverhampton and was made captain this summer. Spurs have secured Cristian Romero long-term and triggered Kevin Danso's buy option.
Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up to close a deal for a rival side's captain despite being snubbed by Marc Guehi. The England international is the subject of interest from both Tottenham and Liverpool but recent reports suggest that Guehi is set to turn down Spurs in favour of a move to Merseyside. Undeterred, however, the Lilywhites are pushing ahead with their next deal, which incidentally, involves another London club's captain.
Thomas Frank has enjoyed an auspicious start in N17, fashioning a 3-5-2 formation to put in a fantastic performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup before returning to a back four and comfortably humbling Burnley in the Premier League opener. Spurs have signed the likes of Mohammed Kudus and are on the brink of bringing in Eberechi Eze but yet another star from a London club has now been linked with a move.
Caught Offside claims that Brentford captain Nathan Collins is now being targeted by Frank, as he looks to improve his side defensively. The County Kildare-born defender has impressed hugely at the Gtech since arriving from Wolverhampton Wanderers two years ago and was handed the armband this summer by incoming manager Keith Andrews.
