According to Sky Sports, Nottingham Forest are expected to make an improved bid for Crystal Palace target Morgan Gibbs-White.
What’s the story?
Well, Wolves have already rejected two offers for the England Under-21 international, who is also said to be a target for Everton.
The highest of those bids was an offer of £25m – Wolves are believed to want £30m for the 22-year-old.
Gibbs-White has attracted the interest of Steve Cooper, Patrick Vieira and Frank Lampard after shining on loan at Sheffield United last season.
The Wolves No.18 scored 12 goals in 39 appearances, while also providing nine assists.
It was said that Gibbs-White is tempted to join Crystal Palace, as he believes he could make his way into the England squad if he moves to Selhurst Park, and the south Londoners are confident of getting a deal done.
Leeds are also said to be fans of the attacking midfielder, who Southampton are monitoring as well.
Nottingham Forest or Crystal Palace are good options
In our view, Gibbs-White would succeed if he made a move to Nottingham Forest or Crystal Palace.
At the City Ground, a manager he knows well in Cooper awaits him – the pair worked together at Swansea, and the 42-year-old clearly feels he can get the best out of the youngster if he is willing to spend almost £30m on him.
In regards to Crystal Palace, Vieira has also created something of an Under-23 playground at Selhurst Park, in which young talents such as Marc Guéhi, Tyrick Mitchell, Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze are thriving.
With his ability, there is no reason why Gibbs-White cannot gel with these prospects and create something special in south London with the Eagles.
Keep an eye on this situation, as an offer of £30m would surely make Wolves think very hard about selling.
