The Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both continuing to monitor Wolves centre-back, Max Kilman.
Kilman’s reputation has blossomed since he established himself as a regular in the Wolves backline two years ago, with the defender starting all but one Premier League game during the 2022-23 season (Transfermarkt).
Given the shallow pool of left-footed centre-back options for Gareth Southgate, a senior England cap does not appear to be too far away for the 26-year-old
Tottenham are reportedly keen on strengthening at left centre-back this summer and it was reported by 90 min a couple of weeks ago that Kilman is one of the names on the North London club’s radar.
However, the speculation linking the Wolves star with a move to Spurs has died down since, with reports over recent days suggesting that the Lilywhites are prioritising moves for the likes of Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Taposoba and Wolfsburg’s Micky Van de Ven instead (Fabrizio Romano).
Spurs and West Ham both interested in Max Kilman
Taylor has now asserted that Kilman is still very much in Tottenham’s sights and claimed that Wolves could be open to cashing in on him.
When asked about Spurs’ interest in the centre-back, he told GiveMeSport: “I think ultimately it’d be down to Julen Lopetegui and what he feels, but I think Wolves could probably do with another big sale like that because it would help them have finances to recruit even further.
“I think Killman is an underrated defender and I think the likes of Tottenham and West Ham are definitely looking at him.
“I do rate him quite highly actually, having watched him a few times closely this season and his ability to pass with both feet is exceptional.”
Spurs Web Opinion
One can understand why Kilman would be an appealing option to Tottenham, given how comfortable he is on the ball, his proficiency in duals and the fact that he is homegrown.
However, it does not appear as if the Wolves star is near the top of Spurs’ wishlist, with the club now seemingly pushing ahead with a move for Taposoba.
