Newcastle United is interested in Max Kilman, according to Football Insider, with Eddie Howe looking for a central defensive signing in the summer. Following consistent performances this season, the Wolves star has attracted a lot of interest from top-six clubs.
Eddie Howe will continue to assess his squad ahead of the summer transfer window and look for key market additions. Because Newcastle United is still the favorite to qualify for European competition next season, the manager will want a squad that can compete on multiple fronts.
They would undoubtedly like to compete in the Champions League and could still finish fourth this season. Newcastle United is currently fifth, one point behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand. While they will compete for a European spot with the north Londoners, the two sides may also compete for a player.
Max Kilman is the player in conversation about a move to either side.
Tottenham wants the central defender next summer as they look to strengthen their defense. Spurs have shortages in the area regardless of whether Antonio Conte stays or leaves.
Newcastle United have now joined them in the hunt for the 25-year-old Premier League defender. Kilman still has two years to run on his deal, meaning Wolves would demand a significant sum from suitors, especially if the interested party are the Magpies.
Howe is looking for a new center-back to join Fabian Schar and Sven Botman. While the duo has maintained their fitness levels, they are also the Premier League’s best defensive team, conceding only 15 times. In comparison, Arsenal and Chelsea are tied for second with 23 goals allowed this season.
Newcastle is also interested in Lille’s Tiago Djalo, with Howe considering reuniting him with Botman. Kilman’s Premier League experience, on the other hand, could be a big factor in deciding on a new defender. The 25-year-old star will be an asset to their team.
A strong finish to the season will help attract top talent in the summer. Champions League qualification would undoubtedly become their top priority, but Howe will see additions like Kilman as critical for next season.
