As a result, he has decided to head out on loan for vital first-team minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs-White has been on the fringes of the first-team squad since making his debut in the 2016\/17 season. However, he is yet to earn a regular starting place.<\/p>\n<p>While the 2018\/19 season did see him make 31 appearances in all competitions, only a handful of those were starts. That number then decreased significantly last season, as Wolves became an established Europa League side.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, regular minutes are needed to help make the next step in his career. He is likely to get that at Swansea, where manager Steve Cooper is looking to build a squad with a core of young players.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said?<\/h3>\n<p>Gibbs-White is familiar with his new boss, having played under him when England won the U17 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>His team-mate in that competition was Rhian Brewster, who spent last season on loan with the Swans. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> youngster played a big part in persuading Gibbs-White to move to the Liberty Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swanseacity.com\/news\/morgan-gibbs-white-hopes-emulate-impact-trio\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official Swansea City website<\/a>, he said: &#8220;I spoke to Rhian about his time down here and he said he loved every minute of it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I got that sort of feedback and I saw the sort of impact he had down here with the goals he scored, I looked at it and thought maybe I can do that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am happy to be hear and I cannot wait to impress the fans and show them everything I can do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would love to follow on from what those three guys did here because they were a massive part of what went on last season in trying to get back to where we should be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was one of the main reasons I wanted to come down here, because of their development, and I am hoping I can do the same and help the boys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"rOOvBhRWQQhiE2bCIJ5BGQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1222600155\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'rOOvBhRWQQhiE2bCIJ5BGQ',sig:'RO0YGQxvF_J6K6FfLBYoSfxtdm91q5V0NAekEH0CfQU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1222600155',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swansea City have confirmed that they have signed midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White on a season-long loan deal.
