'Bigger boys are looking' - Journalist claims 'outstanding' Wolves colossus will be 'in demand'

Some of the biggest Premier League clubs will be interested in signing Wolves defender Max Kilman this summer, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Bruno Lage’s side are enjoying a strong 2021/22 season, finding themselves on the fringes of the top-four battle after Sunday’s 2-0 win away to Tottenham.

Numerous players have shone for Wolves throughout the campaign and Kilman has unquestionably been a standout figure, having started all 23 Premier League games, receiving a 7.01 rating from WhoScored for his performance at Spurs.

The 24-year-old has been a rock in the back three, so much so that rumours of an England call-up have been doing the rounds.

However, speaking to GiveMeSport, O’Rourke claimed that Kilman could be a man in demand at the end of the season, with heavyweight clubs potentially making a move for him.

The journalist stated: “Left-sided centre-halves are always in demand, so I’m sure some of the bigger boys are looking at Kilman as a potential signing in the summer.”

Kilman has been exceptional for Wolves – he has been hailed as ‘outstanding’ by Molineux captain Conor Coady – so the thought of losing him is a worrying one for the Old Gold.

On the plus side, the 24-year-old’s current deal runs until 2026, putting Wanderers in a strong bargaining position when it comes to demanding a huge fee for his services.

The hope is that Kilman stays put for many years, and the fact that he recently extended his contract suggests that he remains loyal to the club with his peak years only now approaching.
