Sheffield United close to signing another Premier League midfielder on season-long loan

Sheffield United are closing on a deal which will see them sign Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, reports the Daily Mail.

Daily Mail’s Adrian Kajumba tweeted that the Conor Hourihane deal does not effect this deal from not happening. Gibbs-White, who has played just seven minutes of Premier League football this season, has made 86 appearances for the Midlands club, after coming through the club’s academy system from the age of eight.

The 21-year-old has also represented England from u16’s all the way through to u21’s, colletcing over 30 appearances for his country.

Gibbs-White also enjoyed a brief loan spell with Swansea City during the 2020/21 campaign, scoring once and assisting another one in six appearances in South Wales.

This is a very good deal for Sheffield United, there getting a player who can bring some athleticism to the middle of the park. Gibbs-White has the potential to have a long successful career in the Premier League, but maybe a season-long loan and many minutes under his belt in the Championship is what the 21-year-old needs first.

The young midfielder has the technical ability and vision to match his desire and work rate, making him an ideal midfielder for Slavisa Jokanovic to bring in.

He has also proved to be an attacking threat during his youth career, and at senior level to some extent, which will help the rather blunt Blades at present.
