Morgan Gibbs-White is being chased by Tottenham Hotspur from Nottingham Forest.
Although Newcastle United is also interested in the 24-year-old midfield player, Spurs are reportedly leading the race, according to a report from Football Insider.
This season, Gibbs-White has been in outstanding form for Nottingham Forest, racking up six goals and seven assists across all competitions. He is capable of playing as a winger, an attacking midfielder, and a centre midfielder. In addition to his ability to score goals and infuse creativity into the final third, his adaptability to fill a variety of roles might make him a valuable asset for the north London team.
It’s unclear if Tottenham will be able to complete the transfer, but the report suggests they have the financial resources to sign the midfield player at the end of the current campaign. It is no secret that they require additional talent and depth in the lineup, particularly if they are to qualify for the Champions League the next year.
Although Newcastle United is also interested in the midfielder, Tottenham will be a more alluring destination for him given that they are unlikely to place in the top four this season. It’s still unclear how things will turn out. Both teams have the financial clout to close the deal, and Nottingham Forest might ask for more for their highly sought-after potential.
It will be fascinating to see if Newcastle and Tottenham are willing to spend a lot of money on him.
The 24-year-old midfielder is accustomed to playing in the Premier League and might have an instant impact for Tottenham the following year.
Nottingham Forest is currently struggling to stay in the top division, and if they end up in the Championship at the conclusion of the season, they will likely have to sell important players like Gibbs-White.
