Max Kilman could be West Ham’s Marc Guehi

The Premier League is blessed with an abundance of defensive talent; whether it is William Saliba at Arsenal, Virgil Van Dijk at Liverpool, Rúben Dias at Manchester City or even Sven Botman at Newcastle United, you cannot move for talented centre-backs in the top-flight.

Following their spectacular end to last season, West Ham United have been enjoying a brilliant 2023/24 campaign, and at the halfway point, they find themselves sixth in the Premier League and through to the knockout rounds of the Europa League.

David Moyes has got his side firing on all cylinders, and while losing Declan Rice in the summer was a serious blow, the players bought in to replace him have been fantastic.

That said, with a real chance of more European silverware come May, the Hammers must make full use of the January transfer window, something it looks like they’re doing, as the latest name touted for a move to the London Stadium could become their own Marc Guehi: Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Max Kilman.

West Ham United transfer news – Max Kilman

According to sports broadcaster and journalist Ben Jacobs, Kilman is now a player to watch for West Ham in the January transfer window, especially if the potential exit of Nayef Aguerd is confirmed.

The Wolves stalwart was a target for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, but that interest seemingly fizzled out in August after he signed on to a new deal that does not expire until 2028.

This new contract has given the Old Gold some much-needed leverage in any potential negotiations, and as such, Jacobs expects that it could cost the Hammers up to £45m to secure the Englishman’s signature this month.

While that would certainly represent a significant investment from the Irons, it might just be worth it to sign a player who Conor Coady described as “outstanding” when he was Wolves captain.
