Sheffield United are closing in on sealing a loan deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, according to The Athletic.

What's the latest Sheffield United transfer news?

Having bolstered their midfield options yesterday by swooping for Conor Hourihane, the Blades are now seemingly set to secure the services of Gibbs-White.

It is understood that the 21-year-old will join United on a season-long loan deal from Wolves.

If this particular deal does go through, Gibbs-White would become Slavisa Jokanovic's third signing of the summer transfer window.

What were Morgan Gibbs-White's stats last season?

Gibbs-White struggled to establish himself as a key player for Wolves during the previous campaign.

The midfielder only managed to make four starts in the Premier League after returning from a loan spell at Swansea City earlier this year.

Gibbs-White sustained a serious foot injury during his time in Wales as he was unable to build upon the two direct goal contributions that he produced in the five Championship appearances that he made for the club.

When could Gibbs-White make his debut for the Blades?

Gibbs-White could be in line to make his debut for United when they host Peterborough United at Bramall Lane on September 11th.

The midfielder will be hoping to help the Blades seal their first league victory of the season in this particular fixture.

Currently 23rd in the Championship standings, United could climb out of the relegation zone if they pick up all three points in their showdown with Peterborough.
