Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has left Molineux on loan, and some fans of his new club are delighted to have the Wolves prospect on board.

The 20-year-old has been with Wolves since the age of eight and has risen through the ranks at the club, going on to make his Premier League bow in the opening fixture of the 2018-19 season, a draw against Everton at Molineux.

To date, Gibbs-White has made 70 competitive appearances for Wolves, though last season saw him make just 16 appearances in all competitions, with injuries hampering his progress.

Of those 16 appearances, just seven were in the Premier League, with only one start.

Despite a tricky season, Wolves have kept faith in Gibbs-White, extending his contract to 2023, and he will now spend the upcoming season on loan at Swansea City, who reached the Championship playoffs last term.

He will be reuniting with Steve Cooper, who he played under when England Under-17s won the World Cup in 2017.

Plenty of Swansea fans are pleased to see Gibbs-White link up with their side, and expressed their delight on social media:

“Morgan’s been with Wolves from a young age and has shown the genuine talent and potential he has, so it’s a positive step forward to have his new contract agreed,” Jeff Shi told the Wolves website.

“Now, we see Swansea as the ideal loan move for him. Hopefully he’ll receive opportunities to impress under a manager he knows well and we’re looking forward to monitoring his performances and development.

“Hopefully Morgan can help Swansea achieve their goals as a club through his performances on the pitch, then return to Wolves next summer stronger, and more experienced from his time in South Wales.”
