Wolves defender Max Kilman is the latest player linked with a summer move to Chelsea.
With the potential need to replace three of their current experienced defenders, the Club World Champion are potentially in the market for several new recruits, and Kilman, who has been in fine form for Wolves this season, now finds himself in the spotlight.
The 24-year old was actually born in Chelsea and grew up a fan of the club, but made his way into the game via non-league football, joining Wolves from Maidenhead United in the summer of 2018.
He began with their under-23 side, but then he made his first-team debut in May 2019, he became the first player since Chris Smalling to make the transition from non-League to Premier League football with no intervening stages.
He attempted to switch his international allegiance to Ukraine, the country of his mother last year, but FIFA rejected that application because he had played for England at international futsal level.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
