Transfer latest: West Ham expected to get Kilman for £40m,

Hammers make improved offer for Wolves defenderArsenal pay Brentford almost £30m for goalkeeper

West Ham have made an improved offer of £40m for the Wolves defender Maximilian Kilman. Julen Lopetegui is prioritising the signing of a centre-back and has made Kilman his top target. It is thought West Ham’s latest bid will convince Wolves to sell their captain.

West Ham had a bid of £25m rejected for the Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo this week and Lopetegui has decided to return to Kilman. It remains to be seen if West Ham try to bring in Todibo as well.
