Wolverhampton Wanderers have already suffered a huge blow to their plans for the upcoming Premier League season after losing captain Max Kilman to West Ham United in a deal worth around £40million – but Fabrizio Romano has exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that plans are already underway to source a replacement centre-back, with the position becoming a priority for the departing star.
Kilman, who skippered Wolves throughout the entirety of last season as he failed to miss a single game for the Molineux outfit, performed extremely well last season and that led to links to other clubs in the top half of the Premier League. West Ham were the club to land their target, with the defender returning to his London home to link up with former boss Julen Lopetegui in the capital – and that has left a void at the back of the Wolves backline.
ith news surrounding Kilman’s future being prominent for quite some time, Wolves have had time to react to his potential departure in the transfer market and that has led to links elsewhere.
We exclusively revealed back in June that the west Midlands outfit were in the market for Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back Nico Elvedi, with scouts extensively looking at him during his time in Germany; though nothing has taken off just yet with Kilman only completing his move at the weekend.
