And according to transfer insider Simon Phillips on his personal Substack site today, Chelsea have added Wolves centre back Max Kilman to their shortlist.
Simon explains that Kilman has been on Chelsea’s radar since the summer of 2022, and they even considered moving for him before they signed Benoit Badiashile. But he has come back to their attention again with internal discussions over potentially making a move to sign him.
