Tottenham Hotspur will likely strike an agreement with Nottingham Forest over a summer deal for 25-year-old English international Morgan Gibbs-White this summer.
According to a report by Football Insider, Morgan Gibbs-White remains the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur, even though the summer move has stalled this week. The Lilywhites are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a creative attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Nottingham Forest playmaker has been a target for the North London outfit.
The 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners have already triggered Gibbs-White’s release clause before Nottingham Forest decided to mull over legal action for an “alleged illegal approach” by the North London club. However, Tottenham will likely secure an agreement with the Tricky Trees over a possible summer deal for the Englishman.
Morgan Gibbs-White and his career-changing move
Morgan Gibbs-White has established himself as a pivotal figure for Nottingham Forest since arriving from Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 2022. The 25-year-old has come leaps and bounds in the last three years, playing a part in the Tricky Trees’ ascent in the Premier League standings.
The English international was exceptional in the 2024/25 campaign, contributing to 17 goals in 34 Premier League outings by finding the back of the net seven times and providing ten assists. Meanwhile, Gibbs-White’s exploits have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs, with Tottenham Hotspur among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
London calling?
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Morgan Gibbs-White is understandable. Richarlison faces an uncertain future at the North London club, while Timo Werner has returned to RB Leipzig after a dreadful loan spell. In addition, recent reports have suggested that Son Heung-min may depart from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer transfer window.
So, Gibbs-White has emerged as a viable target, with Tottenham ready to trigger his release clause. However, recent reports have suggested that Nottingham Forest may pursue legal action for an “alleged illegal approach”. The move has thus stalled, although the Englishman is keen on joining Tottenham by this weekend.
The latest update has suggested that a summer agreement between Tottenham and Nottingham Forest will likely see the light of day. It will be interesting to see if the Lilywhites finally secure the services of the 25-year-old English international in the summer transfer window.
