Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal are amongst a host of Premier League clubs interested in signing 17-year old Morgan Gibbs- White from Wolves.
The teenage midfielder was one of the stars of the England under-17-year World Cup winning squad last month, and has been with Wolverhampton Wanderers since he was 8-years old.
However, because he cannot sign a professional contract with his home-town club until he turns 18, this provides his Premier League pursuers with the opportunity to try and woo him away from Molineux.
Although he made 8 appearances for Wolves last season under former boss Paul Lambert, he has yet to feature for the first-team under new man Nuno Espirito Santo this campaign. However, with Wolves mounting a serious bid to be promoted back to the Premier League after a six-year absence, they will be reluctant to lose one of their brightest young prospects, and may be willing to make him a lucrative offer to stay at the club.
