According to 90min, Morgan Gibbs-White is now tempted by a move to Crystal Palace, despite interest from Leeds and Everton.
What’s the story?
Well, the 22-year-old is said to have rejected a new contract at Wolves, who are now prepared to sell him for a sum of £20m.
As things stand, Gibbs-White is tied to Molineux until June 2024, although Wolves presumably do not want to end up in a situation where he enters the final 12 months of his contract with no intention of staying.
It was said that Crystal Palace have confidence in their pursuit of the England Under-21 international, and 90min believe the south Londoners feel he can reach the senior England squad if he moves to Selhurst Park.
Gibbs-White seems to agree, as 90min add that he is tempted to join the Eagles for that exact reason.
That will come as a blow to Jesse Marsch and Frank Lampard, who are both said to be interested in signing the Wolves No.18 for themselves.
Interest in Gibbs-White comes after he scored 13 goals in 40 appearances on loan at Sheffield United last season, while also providing ten assists as the Blades reached the Championship play-off semi-finals.
Morgan Gibbs-White should ignore Leeds & Everton to join Crystal Palace
It sounds as if Crystal Palace are close to winning this transfer battle, and we feel a move to SE25 will do wonders for Gibbs-White’s career.
Just look at what Patrick Vieira has already done with the talent at his disposal.
The likes of Marc Guéhi, Tyrick Mitchell and Michael Olise have improved significantly under the Frenchman, and with an encouraging fanbase to support him, we’re confident Gibbs-White will also come on leaps and bounds in south London.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as it seems he is edging closer to joining Crystal Palace.
