It looks like Max Kilman’s journey with Wolves might be coming to an end, as West Ham is reportedly ready to shell out £40 million for the defender.
According to The Athletic, West Ham came back with a stronger offer after their initial bid was turned down.
They weren’t the only ones interested, as Newcastle also had a bid rejected.
Last year, Wolves even turned down an offer from Napoli for Kilman.
West Ham’s new manager, Julen Lopetegui, is no stranger to Kilman.
They worked together at Wolves before Lopetegui left the club in August 2023.
Now, it seems they might be teaming up again at West Ham.
Kilman’s Time at Wolves
Kilman has been a solid presence at Wolves since 2018, racking up over 150 appearances.
Before making his mark in the Premier League, he played non-league football for Maidenhead United.
West Ham’s Busy Transfer Window
West Ham has been quite active this transfer season.
They recently secured Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras for £19.2 million.
The young talent, capable of playing as a winger or an attacking midfielder, is an exciting addition.
They’ve also brought in goalkeeper Wes Foderingham on a free transfer.
Lopetegui’s New Chapter
With these new signings and potentially reuniting with Kilman, Lopetegui’s stint at West Ham is off to an intriguing start.
The coming season promises to be an exciting one for the Hammers.
