Leeds United are interested in signing Wolves' on-loan youngster Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, according to a fresh transfer rumour.
The Lowdown: Gibbs-Whites excelling on loan
The 22-year-old joined Sheffield United on a temporary basis last year, in order to earn more regular playing time away from Molineux.
Gibbs-White has impressed greatly for the Blades this season, scoring a stunning goal against Middlesbrough in midweek and netting eight times in the league overall, not to mention registering seven assists.
It could be that the young Englishman feels a permanent move from Wolves makes sense given his form away this term, and a key update has emerged regarding his future.

The Latest: Leeds in the race
According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are one of the clubs expressing an interest in signing Gibbs-White in the summer, as Jesse Marsch eyes up reinforcements.
The Whites aren't alone in monitoring the midfielder, however, with Crystal Palace, Southampton and Fulham all mentioned in the report, too.

The Verdict: Brilliant long-term prospect
Gibbs-White is a player of huge promise - his teammate David McGoldrick has claimed he has the 'world at his feet' - so Leeds potentially snapping him up is an exciting prospect.
He would add the guile and end product in midfield that is lacking at Elland Road, with none of the Whites' current central midfielders scoring more than once in the Premier League this season.
At 22, Gibbs-White is also someone who could represent a long-term signing, with Marsch nurturing him and ensuring he slowly becomes a key player over time.
Whether or not Wolves are willing to sell a prized asset remains to be seen but it is a transfer Leeds should continue eyeing up in the coming months, with his current deal expiring in the summer of 2024.
