Newcastle United had been linked with a move for Max Kilman but the former Wolves defender has set about making a ‘big noise’ at West Ham after joining the Hammers
Max Kilman has revealed that West Ham ‘want to make a big noise’ after the former Newcastle United target completed his £40m move to the London Stadium.
Kilman had previously been monitored by Newcastle, who are in the market for a right-sided centre-back, even though the defender is naturally left-footed like Sven Botman, Lloyd Kelly and Dan Burn. It is worth noting that Gary O’Neil, Bruno Lage and Nuno have all previously used Kilman as a right-sided centre-back at various points. O’Neil even went as far as to say he ‘really liked him on the right because he gives us different solutions’.
Newcastle clearly took note of that flexibility, but it was West Ham who ultimately stumped up the £40m to sign the defender from Wolves earlier this week. Kilman, in the process, has reunited with former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui after signing a seven-year deal at the London Stadium.
