The young Blues can secure their second Premier League 2 crown in three seasons with victory against Brighton & Hove Albion next week.
Unsworth's starlets are currently three points clear of the Seagulls - who sit second - with two games remaining. They lost 4-3 to Manchester City at the Etihad Campus last time out.
It is understood top Championship sides have registered their interest in a possible loan move for Gibson ahead of next season with the teenager having one year remaining on his current deal.
