Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White looks set for a huge future.
According to The Mirror, England boss Gareth Southgate is monitoring the progress of Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White for a call-up.
The Three Lions have been fast-tracking young players into the first-team setup, and that was clear over the last international break with winger Jadon Sancho.
Sancho, 18, has been impressing with Borussia Dortmund this season, and made his senior England debut in the 0-0 draw with Croatia, with Southgate considering other teenagers.
Another 18-year-old playing in the Bundesliga is on the radar in Hoffenheim’s Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson, and so is Wolverhampton Wanderers talent Gibbs-White.
Gibbs-White, also 18, has been coming through the Wolves ranks since joining at the age of just eight, and The Mirror claim that Southgate is looking at his progress for a potential fast-track to the first team.
The midfielder hasn’t started a Premier League game this season, but has made four substitute appearances in the top flight, as well as two League Cup starts as he attempts to break through at Molineux.
Gibbs-White was a part of the England side that won the Under-17 World Cup last year, and is now playing for the England Under-19’s, with the technically-gifted midfielder working his way through the ranks – and possibly into the first team setup.
If Wolves fans were expecting any of their players to get into the England squad, it would be defender Conor Coady as he continues to impress in the Premier League, but it seems that Gibbs-White may beat him to it in a surprise move from Southgate.
