Wolves defender Max Kilman has opened the door to playing for Russia or Ukraine.

Kilman, who recently signed a new deal with Wolves, played futsal for England but qualifies for both Russia and Ukraine through his parents.

And Kilman has said in an interview with the BBC that he would like to play for the national teams of Russia or Ukraine - "the doors are still open."

“When I was little, we sometimes went to Moscow. I also spent a lot of time in Kiev, where many of my mother's relatives still live. My Russian is not as good as it should be, but I can express myself," Kilman said.

Kilman's parents are from the former USSR. Both mum and dad are half Russian, half Ukrainian. Mum is from Kiev. Dad is from Moscow.
