It’s official: West Ham United have completed the £40 million pound signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Max Kilman.
The club began teasing the news early this morning, and the deal has now been rubber-stamped.
“It’s an amazing feeling to be a West Ham United player,” said the former Wolves man.
“As soon as I was aware of the interest from the club, it was an opportunity I was keen to pursue, so I couldn’t be more delighted to be here.
“I really enjoyed working with Julen Lopetegui during his time at Wolves – he’s a top-class coach and someone I learned a lot from, and I am confident I will continue to improve as a player under his management here.”
Kilman added: “West Ham is a massive club, and I feel this is the natural next step forward in my career.
“Playing in front of a passionate fanbase, with 62,500 supporters packing out London Stadium every other week, is something I am incredibly excited about.
“Having spoken at length to both Julen and Tim Steidten, I was hugely encouraged about the ambition of the club and their plans for the future. They want to make a big noise here at West Ham, and as a new player coming in, that’s an incredible thing to hear.
“I’m looking forward to getting down to work and preparing for an exciting season ahead.”
