Wolves are under no financial pressure to sell captain Max Kilman this month amid growing interest in the centre-back from West Ham.
The Hammers have identified Kilman as one of their top priorities should Nayef Aguerd, who is currently preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco, leave the club in January.
Yet even though Wolves faced a battle to meet Financial Fair Play regulations last year, Mail Sport understands they are no such stresses in this transfer window.
