With word of a £35 million transfer, West Ham United makes a £30 million bid for Wolves’ top…

West Ham have tabled another offer for Wolves defender Max Kilman in the region of £30million, according to the Sun.

The newspaper reported via its print edition on 23 June, page 56 that Wolves have turned that down as well after previously rejecting a £25million offer for the 27-year-old. [Shropshire Star]

While Wolves want £45million for him, the Hammers do not value him higher than £35million as they eye defensive reinforcements this summer.

The Hammers must not simply pay the £45million Wolves are demanding for Kilman.

While the Englishman is a talented defender who could strengthen West Ham’s backline, every club quotes a higher asking rate for their players.

At 27 years old, Kilman is entering his prime but has never played for a top club or in European competitions and that lack of experience can prove to be costly.

His £45million valuation seems to be based more on potential than on proven performance.
