According to The Pitch Prospect’s understanding, Wolves would be tempted to sell West Ham’s target Max Kilman if their value is reached.
It is believed that Gary O’Neil’s team value the defender at £45 million.

West Ham are ready to renew their long-standing interest in Kilman following the appointment of former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui.
The Pitch Prospect first reported in January that West Ham wanted to sign central defender Kilman, but could not agree a transfer.
The Irons finished ninth in the Premier League last season, while Wolves finished 14th.
Manchester United have also shown interest in the 26-year-old after an impressive season.

Speaking about his time at Wolves, Kilman said: “I’ve always had a determined and tough attitude and that’s always been in me. I had to fight for every opportunity because nothing was ever handed to me.”
“I always had to give my best, sometimes against all odds, because coming to Wolves from an amateur club, there were not great expectations of me.
“I came into the U23s and nobody really expected me to make the first team because I was quite an older player in that squad – I was two and a half years older than most of the guys.
“But I just knew I had to work because anything could have happened. So I just had to believe that if I did my best, at least I had done my best and there would be no regrets whether I progressed to Wolves or not.
“That was my attitude. I just wanted to fight and every time I was called up to train with the first team, I approached it like a game. I wasn’t relaxed, I was hungry and I wanted to show what I could do.
“Obviously I learned from my manager at the time and the great players we had at the time when I had my breakthrough and they were so crucial to my development. I really took everything in, I tried to take on the challenge and I just wanted to learn.”
