According to TEAMtalk, Leeds and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Wolves wonderkid Morgan Gibbs-White, who is also a target for Southampton.
The 22-year-old is currently enjoying a season-long loan at Sheffield United, where he is dominating the Championship with the Blades.
Gibbs-White has scored nine goals in 27 appearances from midfield, while also providing seven assists.
Whoever signs the England Under-21 international will be getting a gem, and also a player who carries the seal of approval from Gary Lineker.
What’s the story?
Well, the BBC Match of the Day host is a big fan of Gibbs-White.
Speaking on Match of the Day after the youngster impressed in a 2-1 win over Chelsea, Lineker said: “What a performance from that young man making his first start. We’ve seen glimpses of him. Morgan Gibbs-White, remember that name, what a talent.” (This is Futbol)
Unfortunately, Gibbs-White fizzled out a bit at Molineux, which is why he ended up joining Sheffield United on loan.
However, his tremendous form at Bramall Lane proves he has bundles of talent, and is capable of thriving at different clubs.
Leeds or Crystal Palace could sign a gem
In our view, Gibbs-White could be the next big thing in English football, and Leeds or Crystal Palace would do well to prise him away from Wolves.
Specifically in Crystal Palace’s case, they would add another piece to a very exciting project under Patrick Vieira if they signed the Stafford-born maestro.
The Eagles already have the likes of Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, Tyrick Mitchell and Marc Guéhi in their ranks.
If they could add Gibbs-White to the mix, Vieira would have the spine of an Under-23 superteam in south London.
