Wolves happy to swerve defensive signing plans thanks to Kilman form

Wolves defender Max Kilman's form eased management's plans to strengthen their defensive options this summer market.

Bruno Lage was targeting a new central defender throughout the summer as one of the 'three or four top players' he wanted before the transfer deadline, says the Express & Star.

And although Wolves did make moves to secure a signing in that department, it is understood Kilman's superb performances meant they were not panicking to sign a defender.

Despite playing on the right of the back three, left-footed Kilman has been an assured presence in gold and black – becoming one of the stand-out performers so far this season.

With Willy Boly and Yerson Mosquera also returning from injury, Wolves felt they had enough cover in defence.
