Exclusive: West Ham ‘Poised to Lodge Fresh Bid’ for £45m Star This Week
West Ham United are expected to step up their pursuit of Max Kilman in the coming days by heading to Wolverhampton Wanderers with an improved offer as they aim to eventually strike a deal which will see the defender head to the London Stadium before the new season, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
Hammers head coach Julen Lopetegui has already bolstered his attacking options during the early stages of the summer transfer window, thanks to rubber-stamping a £25million deal which has seen Brazilian teenager Luis Guilherme make the switch from Palmeiras, while the goalkeeping department has also been strengthened.
Wes Foderingham became West Ham’s second signing ahead of the 2024/25 campaign after penning a two-year contract to join at the expiry of his Sheffield United agreement, but technical director Tim Steidten is continuing to scour the market for reinforcements after being put in charge of the east Londoners’ recruitment drive.
West Ham are poised to return to Wolves with a fresh bid for Kilman in the coming days, according to GMS sources, as the capital club have made the decision to continue persisting in the hope that their Premier League counterparts will end up choosing to take the cash on offer despite being left frustrated in their initial attempts to strike a deal.
