Transfer news LIVE: Emery wants TWO Chelsea stars after Jhon Duran move ‘agreed’

Max Kilman details

West Ham have completed the signing of Max Kilman from Wolves.

Kilman is delighted to be reunited with with manager Julen Lopetegui following his £40million move.

The centre-back has signed a seven-year deal at the London Stadium and was one of Lopetegui’s top targets having been made captain by the Spanish tactician at Molineux.

The Hammers attempted to land the 27-year-old last summer and, as first revealed by SunSport, quickly revived their interest after appointing Lopetegui.

Wolves will pay around £4m to National League side Maidenhead, from whom they signed Kilman for £40,000 in 2018 due to a 10 per cent sell on clause.

Olise reacts to Bayern move

Michael Olise completed his £49.5million move to Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace.

Olise, who is currently on international duty with the French Olympic team ahead of this summer’s Games in Paris, issued the following statement:

The talks with FC Bayern were very positive, and I’m very happy to now be playing for such a big club.

It’s a great challenge, and that’s exactly what I was looking for.

I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring that we win as many titles as possible with our team in the coming years.

West Ham blow

Aleix Garcia was unveiled as a Bayer Leverkusen player last month.

However, the Spain midfielder could have ended up signing for West Ham instead.

When asked if he had received any offers other than the Leverkusen one, Garcia told Diari de Girona: “One from West Ham. They were the only ones.

“If I had waited longer, maybe I could have received another one. I considered that Bayer was the most positive, because of the coach and the style of play. Playing the Champions League was a trigger.”

Hagi future

The agent of Rangers star Ianis Hagi has revealed he would pay to help his client secure a move away from the Scottish club.

Giovanni Becali told Digi Sport: “I would be more than happy to help him find a team.

“I would spend money from me and my brother to find something for Ianis. He has an impresario who is very good to me.

“He has a contract with Rangers and I think he will start training with them. I hope that the coach will continue to consider him (as part of first team squad).”

Martinez could depart

Emi Martinez could leave Aston Villa summer, according to his agent.

“Today he is in one of the best projects, he has one of the best sporting directors in the world, one of the most prestigious coaches in the world, they have qualified for the Champions League, when nobody thought it was possible,” Gonzalo Goñi told ESPN.

“Surely, they will compete in the Champions League and, with a goalkeeper like Emiliano, who turns everything into a box of surprises, they’ll end up competing on a grand scale.

“But it’s never all said and done: we are having conversations, listening, watching and we’ll see… But perhaps, he puts Aston Villa at the level of the greats of Europe.”

Liverpool sell forgotten defender

The Reds have sold forgotten defender Anderson Arroyo.

The Colombian has joined Burgos, following a successful loan with the second tier Spanish side.

“Anderson Arroyo has completed a permanent transfer from Liverpool to Burgos CF, subject to international clearance,” Liverpool confirmed.

“The Colombian departs the Reds six-and-a-half years after arriving from Fortaleza CEIF in his home country. Arroyo spent the majority of his time with the club out on loan, at Real Mallorca, KAA Gent, FK Mlada Boleslav, Salamanca CF UDS, Mirandes, Alaves, FC Andorra and Burgos.”
