Chelsea are reportedly considering a summer move for Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Max Kilman.
According to Give Me Sport, Chelsea are considering a summer move for 27-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Max Kilman. However, a move for the player might not see the light of day.
The Blues have been linked with players like Tosin Adarabioyo and Ousmane Diomande as well, with the former set to join them. It is evident that Chelsea are desperate to improve their defensive unit during the summer window.
Kilman has shown his quality in English football and he could be a superb addition to the Chelsea defence. Thiago Silva has left the club upon the expiry of his contract, and Chelsea need to replace the Brazilian adequately. They are missing his defensive qualities and leadership qualities and Kilman should prove to be the ideal acquisition. The Wolves captain could fill the void left by the South American defender next season.
The opportunity to join Chelsea will be an attractive one for the player as well. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he will be excited to join one of the biggest clubs in the country. Chelsea have resources to put together a formidable squad and challenge for major trophies in the coming seasons. The 27-year-old defender will certainly want to win major tournaments with them in the near future.
Chelsea must support new manager with quality signings
Chelsea had a disappointing season by their standards and they have switched managers this summer. Enzo Maresca has been appointed as the club’s next manager and he will hope to guide Chelsea back to the top of English football. He will need quality reinforcements during the summer transfer window and the defence is an area that is in need of strengthening.
Kilman is a reliable performer in the Premier League and he will look to make his mark at Chelsea if the transfer goes through.
Chelsea looked quite vulnerable at the back at times last season and they will need to plug their weaknesses in order to compete with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City next season. There is no doubt that they have the bones of a very good squad, but they need a few intelligent additions in order to bounce back strongly.
