Slavisa Jokanovic 'sure' on Morgan Gibbs-White's future
Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has impressed on loan at Sheffield United
Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is yet to show his best form for Sheffield United, manager Slavisa Jokanovic has insisted, despite describing the on-loan midfielder as a “Premier League player” competing in the Championship.
The England youth international joined Sheffield United on loan from Wolves in the summer and has made three appearances and two starts.
The 21-year-old has reinvigorated United’s attack since arriving on loan, and further embellished his reputation with another impressive display during a win over Hull City on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking after the match, which saw United stretch their unbeaten run to four games, Jokanovic praised Gibbs-White's early showings in a Blades shirt.

“He (Gibbs-White) is one of our very talented individuals,” Jokanovic said.
“He is very talented in fact and is a Premier League player. He is a guy already with good experience and is coming here, looking for space on the field.
"We have been able to give him that space and he is competing with the group and also supporting it.
“He has the characteristics that we want and, more or less, is showing the things that we want.
“The sensation I have with Morgan is very positive. But football is not one game and it is not one week. Morgan has 15 years ahead of him (in football) and so he must look to improve and get even better, which we are sure he will.”
