Liverpool transfer target Nnamdi Collins has switched agents to help him secure a move away from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer, according to reports in Germany.
Sky Sport Deutschland claim that the 22-year-old is keen to take the “next step” in his career, and he “wants” a transfer away from Frankfurt.

It is believed that Arne Slot’s side are one of several clubs who have been scouting Collins this season.
This latest development will undoubtedly have piqued the interest of Reds sporting director Richard Hughes.
6 Premier League teams have been linked with Collins
Liverpool were first mentioned as a potential suitor for the German international last month, when it was also claimed that Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Brentford were keeping tabs on his situation.
Collins has played 27 games in all competitions for Frankfurt this campaign, but he hasn’t always been a regular starter, having been named in the first eleven for only 13 league matches.
Why are Liverpool interested in the defender?
Collins can play both centre-back and right-back, which would make him a perfect replacement for Joe Gomez. Buy the latest Liverpool jerseys from the official store here.
The 28-year-old has been close to leaving Anfield on several occasions over the past two years. He was poised to join AC Milan in the summer, but the collapse of Marc Guehi’s move from Crystal Palace meant that he ended up staying on Merseyside.
Gomez is expected to have more suitors at the end of the season, and if the interest in Collins is serious, it would suggest that the Reds defender is on his way out of the club.
