West Ham's initial bid of £25 million for Wolves captain Max Kilman is expected to be rejected, with Wolves valuing the defender at around £45 million. Julen Lopetegui, West Ham's new manager, is keen to reunite with Kilman, who he previously managed at Wolves. Wolves are reluctant to sell their captain but may be forced to consider a sale due to financial pressures and Premier League sustainability rules. West Ham, aiming to bolster their squad defensively and offensively, have also shown interest in Hull's Jacob Greaves and Bologna's Riccardo Calafiori. Additionally, West Ham has made a £6 million bid for ex-Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, although Galatasaray is seeking closer to £8 million. Zaha, who enjoyed a successful debut season in Turkey, is seen as a valuable addition despite his advancing age.
