Wolverhampton Wanderers starlet Chem Campbell is now set to be handed a new contract with the club, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

The Lowdown: Campbell’s breakthrough

Having made his way through the side’s youth academy, the 19-year-old was handed his debut by former manager Bruno Lage in the Premier League last season in the Wanderers’ 1-0 loss to Newcastle.

His only senior outing of the campaign, the Welshman has now emerged as a fully-fledged member of the Old Gold’s first-team, having made four appearances off the bench in the English top-flight this season.

The Latest: Contract news

Having impressed in the side’s most recent Premier League clashes against Manchester City, West Ham and Chelsea, Campbell appears ready to extend his stay at the Molineux.

Taking to Twitter, journalist O’Rourke revealed:

“Wolves are set to hand attacking midfielder Chem Campbell a new deal.”

The Verdict: Big talent

Having made his first-team breakthrough this season, Campbell deserves an extension with the Midlands club, with his current deal set to expire next summer.

Totalling 57 appearances for the U21s and a further 21 appearances for the U18s, the youngster is now ready to make the step-up and compete for a place in the side’s starting XI.

Hailed as ‘sublime’ by journalist Liam Keen for a dazzling run he made with the ball for Wolves’ youth side last month, Campbell is ‘clearly a cut above’ the level he is playing at with the U21s.

News of a fresh contract could suggest even more senior game time is coming for the 19-year-old this season.
