Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing 23-year-old Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.
A report from Daily Telegraph has claimed that Newcastle United want Morgan Gibbs-White as a replacement for Miguel Almiron, who is expected to complete a move to Saudi Arabia this month.
Newcastle United Want Morgan Gibbs-White
Gibbs-White has established himself as a top quality Premier League attacker, and he should prove to be a superb acquisition for the Magpies. He will add drive, flair, creativity and goals to the Newcastle attack. The Englishman is well-settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at Newcastle United as well.
The 23-year-old has proven himself in the top flight, and he is likely to get better with coaching and experience. He is certainly good enough to play for top clubs, and the opportunity to move to Newcastle will be an attractive proposition for him as well. The Magpies secured Champions League qualification last season, and they will be an attractive destination for players.
Newcastle United will have the finances to get the deal done after the departure of Almiron as well. They must look to improve their offensive options in the coming months, and it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White done.
The 23-year-old is a key player for Nottingham Forest, and the Premier League outfit do not want to let him leave easily. They will probably look to demand a premium for him. The player was also a target for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer.
Newcastle are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world. But they will not be able to spend freely because of the Financial Fair Play restrictions. They will hope to agree on a reasonable deal with Nottingham Forest for their star midfielder.
Morgan Gibbs-White will want to take the next step in his development and join a club capable of competing for trophies. Newcastle United have an ambitious project, and it would be the ideal next step in his career. If he manages to impress with the Magpies in the coming seasons, he will have plenty of opportunities to join the elite clubs in the near future.
