The true reason Wolves never wanted to sign a replacement for Max Kilman is revealed by Matt Hobbs.
Max Kilman was sold by Wolves to West Ham in the summer, but the club thereafter made several dubious decisions.
Kilman’s transfer to West Ham netted Wolves £40 million, and they had plenty of time to recruit a replacement.
The departure of the Wanderers captain left a void in Gary O’Neil’s defence that needed filling with only Toti Gomes, Craig Dawson, Santi Bueno and Yerson Mosquera ready to choose from.
Mosquera has since suffered an MCL and ACL injury in the defeat to Aston Villa after a promising start, and that leaves just three centre-back options to choose from with Toti returning to training ahead of Liverpool.
Despite the troubles Wolves have had in defence since Kilman joined the Hammers, the club were happy to progress beyond the transfer window without strengthening the position.
Matt Hobbs explains why Wolves never planned on signing Max Kilman replacment
Kilman was one of two outfield players last term to play every single minute in the Premier League, the other was Arsenal’s William Saliba.
The 27-year-old was always a ready and reliable option for O’Neil, who never suffered from any injury problems or fatigue.
Although many expected a new arrival in defence, Matt Hobbs has explained why they never planned on signing a fifth centre-back to replace Kilman.
