Vanarama National League Maidenhead United’s possible payday from the sale of Max Kilman could be back on in the January Transfer Window.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers captain is reportedly a target for Europa Conference holders West Ham United, in the summer it was Serie A champions Napoli.

According to The Guardian: “David Moyes is keen to sign a new defender and is plotting a move for Kilman. The defender has been in fine form for Wolves and West Ham are aware that buying him will not be easy. Kilman signed a new five-year deal last summer and Wolves, who could demand at least £40m for the 26-year-old, would be reluctant to lose such a key player midway through the season.”

Maidenhead reportedly have a sell on clause for the player – though the size of percentage is unknown – who the way sold to the Black Country side in 2018.
