# Wolves: Fans delighted as Max Kilman could receive England call-up

**A number of Wolves supporters are delighted after a report claimed that Max Kilman could be on the verge of a first international call-up for England.**

Bruno Lage’s side drew 0-0 away to Norwich City on Saturday afternoon and finished the weekend sitting sixth in the Premier League.

There have been a number of strong performers for Wanderers this season and Kilman is undoubtedly one of them. The centre-back has [started all 13](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/368310/Show/Maximilian-Kilman) of his team’s Premier League matches in 2021/22 to date and it appears as though his performances have caught Gareth Southgate’s eye.

As per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton-Wanderers), he is Wolves’ fourth-best performer overall and ranks top for interceptions per match (1.5), second for clearances per game (3.4), third for headers won per game (1.8), joint-third for tackles won per match (2.4). Those figures indicate a no-nonsense, well-rounded defender.

According to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/2980184/2021/11/29/ornstein-pogba-options-open-1k-week-carroll-newcastle-director-football/)‘s David Ornstein \[via [Talking Wolves](https://twitter.com/TalkingWolves/status/1465291512913223682?s=20) on Twitter\], Kilman has impressed the England boss and may be considered a left-footed centre-back option in Southgate’s future squads. The journalist wrote:

> “The Athletic has been told his form has not gone unnoticed by Gareth Southgate and it’s believed Kilman is on England’s radar and has been discussed as a potential option at centre-back.
>
> “Kilman is playing on the right of a back three for Wolves, but he’s one of the very few left-footed options Southgate could call upon. If he continues his excellent form for Wolves – and Southgate watched him during the recent 2-1 victory over Everton at Molineux — he may be joining his club skipper Conor Coady in the squad before long.”
