Potential Sheffield United transfer blow emerges

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Bruno Lage has said he will give those currently out on loan from Molineux including Morgan Gibbs-White a chance to impress before making a decision on their futures, speaking to the Express and Star.

The England youth international has been a key asset for the Sheffield United this term, recording 10 goals and eight assists in 34 league appearances and only being prevented from appearing more by a knee injury he sustained back in December.

Although he was one of few United players to thrive under former boss Slavisa Jokanovic, he has also proved his worth under Paul Heckingbottom as an integral figure in elevating his side to a top-six spot.

With this, the 22-year-old won’t be short of interest when the summer comes along and the Blades are one side that would like to make another move for him, no real surprise considering his impact at Bramall Lane this term.

A potential takeover from US businessman Henry Mauriss may have been able to turn this deal from a dream to reality with the club’s current owners failing to make significant funds available despite selling Aaron Ramsdale to Arsenal in a £30m deal last summer.

But Lage has confirmed he will take a closer look at Gibbs-White, all but ruling out an early summer move back to Bramall Lane for the attacking midfielder.

Speaking to the Express and Star, Wolves’ manager said: “It comes from the project of the club and first we will look at what we have here.

“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 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
