Bruno Lage confirms plan for Wolves loan players ahead of summer window

Bruno Lage plans to cast his eye over Wolverhampton Wanderers’ returning loan players before deciding whether to utilise them next season.

Wolves have a number of players performing well in the Championship, most notably Morgan Gibbs-White, who has scored 10 goals and grabbed eight assists in 33 games for promotion chasing Sheffield United. Ryan Giles has also enjoyed a positive season in the second tier, with 10 assists for Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.

Dion Sanderson has spent the second half of the campaign on loan with QPR after returning to Wolves in January, while Bendeguz Bola, Bruno Jordao and Theo Corbeanu all see their temporary spells away from Molineux expire soon.

Lage gave Gibbs-White the chance to return to Wolves in January and plans to reintegrate him into his first team in the summer. Giles, who impressed the Wolves head coach in training during the winter, will also be given an opportunity in pre-season.

"It comes from the project of the club and first we will look at what we have here,” Lage said. "If the guys are still motivated and have the ability to give us what we want and create the squad that I want, after we will look at our academy and at players like Luke (Cundle) and if they fit for us.

“That includes the loan players and if they are ready to play for us or if they need one more year (on loan). If we don't have (the players) here in the academy or on loan then we need to find them outside.”
