Tottenham Hotspur have stunned the football world with an unexpected approach for Nottingham Forest's rising star Morgan Gibbs-White, according to exclusive reports.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder, who was instrumental in Forest's Premier League survival last season, has emerged as a surprise target for Spurs as they look to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes.
Forest's Stance on Their Prized Asset
Nottingham Forest are understood to be reluctant to part with their £25m signing from Wolves, who still has four years remaining on his contract at the City Ground. Manager Steve Cooper sees Gibbs-White as central to his plans for the coming season.
Why Tottenham Want Gibbs-White
Ange Postecoglou's side are believed to be attracted by Gibbs-White's versatility, creativity and Premier League experience. The England U21 international recorded 5 goals and 8 assists last campaign, making him one of Forest's most productive players.
Potential Complications
The deal faces several hurdles:
- Forest's unwillingness to sell so close to deadline day
- The player's long contract
- Competition from other clubs monitoring the situation
With just days remaining in the transfer window, this developing story could go down to the wire as Tottenham look to test Forest's resolve with an improved offer.
