Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly plotting an audacious move for Nottingham Forest's attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White as part of Daniel Levy's ambitious summer transfer plans.
The 24-year-old England U21 international has impressed since his £25 million move to Forest in 2022, catching the attention of several Premier League clubs with his creativity and work rate.
Levy's Transfer Revolution
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is preparing for a significant squad rebuild this summer, with Gibbs-White emerging as a potential target to bolster Ange Postecoglou's attacking options.
The North London club are also being linked with Real Madrid's Rodrygo Goes, though that move appears more complicated given the Brazilian's importance to Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Why Gibbs-White Fits Postecoglou's System
The versatile midfielder's profile makes him an ideal fit for Postecoglou's high-intensity system:
- Creative output with 5 goals and 7 assists this season
- Ability to play across multiple attacking positions
- Premier League proven with over 100 appearances
- Homegrown status valuable for squad registration
Forest would likely demand a significant fee for their prized asset, potentially exceeding £40 million, as they look to comply with Premier League profit and sustainability rules.
Competition for Signature
Tottenham aren't the only club monitoring Gibbs-White's situation, with:
- Newcastle United reportedly interested
- West Ham keeping tabs on developments
- Several European clubs monitoring the situation
The coming weeks will reveal whether Levy is prepared to make a concrete offer for the talented playmaker as Spurs look to build on their fifth-place finish last season.
