We asked for your views on West Ham United signing Max Kilman on a seven-year contract, which will see the defender reunite with his former manager Julen Lopetegui.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Joe: Being the Wolves captain must say something about his ability as a player and a leader, something that West Ham have lacked recently. I can see him being a solid signing for the back four. He reminds me of Craig Dawson in a way.

Jon: £40m is an absolute joke amount for him. If this is the type of business Tim Steidten is going to do, I think we have had it!

Adrian: We paid way too much for Kilman but I do think he could be a good addition – only time will tell. West Ham need a top-quality striker now. I hope they haven’t spent all of their money on a centre-half.

Steve: If Kilman can regain the form he showed when he was on the brink of the England squad, he should be a positive addition to West Ham’s backline. It is an area which does need strengthening.

Adam: It seems like a high transfer fee for a good but not exceptional player. He is on a seven-year contract as well, which seems excessive for a player of his age. Good luck to him, hopefully it works out for him and West Ham. It’s great for Maidenhead!

Don: We will have to wait until the first game of the season to know how all of our new acquisitions will work together.
