He has now made 94 appearances for Wolves (Transfermarkt) and is regarded as one of the finest young centre-backs in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old has long been touted as a possible solution to Tottenham’s defensive issues.
Indeed, Jacobs previously claimed Kilman was on Tottenham’s radar ahead of a possible move to North London this summer (Last Word on Spurs).
A tall, commanding defender with good ball-playing abilities is hard to come by, but Kilman ticks all those boxes. Plus, he is a homegrown talent, which only adds to his value to any club in the top flight.
It is thought Spurs will look to reinforce the centre of defence as a priority in the transfer market at the end of the season, as reported by The Athletic and Football.London.
But, if Kilman is indeed a target, they may face competition from Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool now.
Jacobs said: “I am also told Liverpool, like Spurs, would consider Wolves’ Max Kilman.
“You could make an argument Liverpool need a left and right-sided centre-back even if both don’t play instantly together as a new first-choice pairing in 2023/24.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Max Kilman has proven he can handle himself at the very top level and he appears to have outgrown Wolves now and I expect him to move on in the summer.
It makes sense that Liverpool are looking at him, and while there are plenty of options out there, I think Spurs would be foolish to let Kilman join a rival and so they should make a move for him.
