WORCESTER Warriors have admitted that Tim Collier has other Premiership offers on the table.

The lock, who will be out of contract in the summer, has been linked with moves to Biarritz and Harlequins but the Sixways side still hope to convince him to stay.

London Irish and Wasps are also believed to be interested in the former London Welsh man.

"We are in negotiations with him," said head coach Andy Keast. "He does have some other offers on the table from Premiership clubs."

Collier was spotted at the Stoop last Thursday evening speaking to Harlequins' chief Mark Evans but the former Quins man denies being at their game with Natal Sharks.

"He said he wasn't at Quins and I believe him," added Keast.

"He's got a house in London, his wife is expecting in August and obviously those are two factors which could influence his decision.

"The fact that we've tried, at this early stage, to sort out his future here is indication in itself of what we feel about him.

"We would be disappointed if he left. We've told him we'd like him to stay.

"We're professional sportsmen, we know what the game is about, but we hope Tim doesn't move on. It won't affect selection because we have to be above that."
