Collins joined Burnley from Championship side Stoke City last summer and went on to make 19 appearances during the 2021-22 Premier League campaign, scoring twice.
Newcastle are keen to bolster their defence in the summer transfer window with Collins’ teammate James Tarkowski also linked with a potential move to St James’s Park upon the expiry of his contract at Turf Moor – Premier League rivals Everton and Aston Villa are also reportedly interested.
