Midfielder turns down Liverpool

Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has reportedly turned down the opportunity to move to Liverpool.

The England Under-17 midfielder, who turned 18 last week, has agreed a new deal with Wolves despite interest in him from Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp. His previous contract didn’t expire until the end of the 2018-19 season but with a number of Premier League clubs sniffing around him, Wolves wanted to offer him improved terms.

Gibbs-White has been with the Wolves academy since he was 8-years-old. He made his debut last January in the FA Cup 3rd round and has gone on to impress.

Speaking towards the end of last year, the youngster said: “I feel privileged to be part of such a big club.

“The players that the manager has brought in are unbelievable. To play with some of these amazing players is really good for my development and I can build off them.

“I have spent a while at this club and I love it. The fans have been amazing and supported me throughout.”
