Wolves signing Dani Olmo could be bad news for Morgan Gibbs-White

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly tabled a bid of £22.5 million for Dinamo Zagreb star Dani Olmo.

The Black Country club completed their first signing of the summer in Jesus Vallejo on loan from Real Madrid, and they now want to follow that up with his Spanish U21 international teammate according to Sportske Novosti.

Olmo is in high demand after a fine season for Zagreb in which he scored 12 goals and laid on nine assists.

The attacking midfielder’s form has alerted the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Wolves tabling an offer would suggest they are currently leading the chase for the starlet, and if they get him then it could be bad news for young Morgan Gibbs-White.

TBR’s view

Olmo pitching up at Molineux could seriously harm Gibbs-Whites chances of regular game time.

Like the young Englishman, Olmo operates best as an attacking midfielder although he can play out wide.

Given that the Wolves system uses wing-backs though, he would surely have to play through the middle if he did sign.

Potentially, Gibbs-White would find opportunities harder to come by with Olmo a bit further on in his development.
