Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Morgan Gibbs-White could be attracted to Crystal Palace due to the direction the London club are heading in.
The Eagles enjoyed a brilliant campaign last time out in Patrick Vieira’s first season as manager and are looking to build on that further throughout the upcoming season.
Crystal Palace are in the market for a midfielder following the return of Conor Gallagher to Chelsea and Gibbs-White could be an option for Vieira – as the 22-year-old is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal with his boyhood club – with his current contract expiring in 2024.
The in-demand star is believed to be on the radar of several Premier League clubs following a successful season-long loan spell with Sheffield United last season and is wanted by both Everton and Nottingham Forest, as well as Crystal Palace.
Sky Sports have reported that Everton have already seen an opening offer worth £25 million rejected by Wolves for the midfielder, with the Midlands outfit expected to hold out for around £30m.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke believes that Crystal Palace are now a club going places and that that could play a part in Gibbs-White’s thinking when he decides where to ply his trade next term.
Speaking about Gibbs-White’s potential move to Palace, he stated to GiveMeSport: “It does seem to be a club going places, Palace. A young vibrant side now under Vieira as well.
“So, I’m sure that will play a part in players’ thinking if they were to move to Palace. But it’s going to be a big battle, I think, for Gibbs-White if he does end up leaving Wolves this summer.”
I think wolves have stood by him as best they could it’s only while he’s been on loan that he has shown some promise could make up his mind to move
He’s already stated he’s staying at Wolves, he’s not for sale, go and find something else to write about, it’s getting boring now.
Crystal Palace going places? Small ground, not much income and a small fan base. Awful journalism clutching straws at best ….
Wolves are a much bigger club with far more potential. Pathetic
Palace are getting a new ground also they are a London
Club
You must be joking you muppet dont make me laugh wolves a big club
I disagree with Steve Roberts reply. Look at Palace now compared to Roy Hodgson’s team. Palace are now full of Energy with Youth and Quality Players. OK there ground is in a Time Warp, but have you seen there New Training Academy on YouTube? Gareth Southgate opened it, and boy what a Academy it’s probably one of the best in the U.K. I honestly think Palace are on PAR with Wolves now as a Team if not a Tad Better….!
Well I think that crystal palace will be chasing top 8 come the end of the season 🦅🦅🦅👍
We are going places but MGW isn’t. We won’t pay that kind of money on someone who isn’t even in the starting XI at their current club.
Wolves and Palace are both chasing the similar goal this season: 7th – 10th. So this isn’t a great move for the player nor either club.
Already said he was staying anyway so all a bit moot.
