Chelsea target Max Kilman is 6ft 5in futsal star on brink of England call and his Blues U10s ace brother is even better
MAX KILMAN is being tipped for another England call-up — and mum Maria reckons his little brother has even more potential.
But Chelsea Under-10s star Michael has plenty to do before he follows his older sibling into the Premier League.

Wolves centre-half Kilman has already made 25 appearances for England's futsal team and has been linked with a call-up for Gareth Southgate's World Cup-bound Three Lions.
The 6ft 5in defender has been an ever-present in a Wolves defence that has the second best defensive record in the Prem this season behind leaders and reigning champions Manchester City.
His latest reputation-boosting display came in Sunday's 2-1 win over Leicester, which has left Wanderers seventh in the table.
But the 24-year-old says his little brother is the one to really keep an eye on.
He said: "My mum says he’s like the upgraded version of me as a kid - he’s always been bigger, faster, stronger and more confident.
“It’s good. I want him to be better than me. I’ll be happy if he is.”

Kilman was rejected by Fulham as a teenager and played non-league football with Maidenhead United alongside his national team futsal duties before Wolves signed him in 2018.
The London-born star, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea, once thought he also qualified to play for Russia and Ukraine through his parents, but now knows that is not the case.
He explained: "Football and futsal are both regulated by Fifa.
“I’ve already represented England in a World Cup qualifier, so I couldn’t change nationality. I can only play for England.”
