West Ham have completed the signing of Max Kilman from Wolves.
The Hammers paid a reported £40million for the defender, who has signed a seven-year contract with the club.
Wolves initially turned down an offer of £25m but accepted the improved offer for Kilman, who had signed a long-term deal with the club last year.
Kilman is reunited with his former manager, Julen Lopetegui, who made him captain while in charge of Wolves.
It s an amazing feeling to be a West Ham player, Kilman said.

As soon as I was aware of the interest from the club, it was an opportunity I was keen to pursue, so I couldn’t be more delighted to be here.
I really enjoyed working with Julen during his time at Wolves. He s a top-class coach and someone I learned a lot from, and I am confident I will continue to improve as a player under his management here.
The 27-year-old joined Wolves in 2018, making his debut in May 2019. He went on to make 151 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals.
He becomes Lopetegui s third signing at West Ham, following Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham into the club.
