According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Wolves will be lucky to keep hold of Max Kilman this summer, and he thinks Tottenham Hotspur should be trying harder to sign the defender.
Without a doubt, the main area of concern for Tottenham in a dismal campaign in 2022/23 was in defence. The team shipped 63 goals in the Premier League, with only five teams conceding more, and three of those teams being relegated.

Since Ange Postecoglou has taken over at Spurs, he has reportedly made it clear to the board that he needs a new centre-back to solve the issues at the back for the Lilywhites (90 Min).
Multiple names have been linked with Tottenham already this summer as they hunt for a new centre-half. Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo is known to be a potential target (Sky Sports), as is Bayer Leverkusen star Edmond Tapsoba (90 Min).
Another name on the list is thought to be Max Kilman, with respected journalist Alasdair Gold naming the Wolves defender as a player Spurs are keeping an eye on in his column for Football.London.
Tottenham should be pushing to sign Kilman
In an appearance on the Chasing Green Arrows YouTube channel, Graeme Bailey expressed his surprise that Spurs have not been pushing harder to sign Kilman this summer.
He said: “[Wolves are] keeping Kilman and he’s a wonderful player. Max Kilman is as good as Levi Colwill. I think they will do well to hang on to him.
“I’m surprised Spurs haven’t pushed harder. They have been linked, but I’m surprised they haven’t pushed harder for him because he’s a potential England player Kilman, he’s that good.”

I really like Max Kilman and he has a bright future ahead of him wherever he ends up. He is a player I would love to see Spurs taking a chance on as, like Bailey says, he could and should end up at the very top level eventually.
