Tottenham Hotspur want Morgan Gibbs-White as they consider a push for the Nottingham Forest playmaker this summer.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim that Spurs are monitoring Gibbs-White for a summer move.
Spurs seemingly want to add a creative midfield player this summer and have been looking at Leicester City’s James Maddison.
Tottenham have other options in mind though, even with no manager or director of football in place right now.
Hailed as ‘brilliant’ by former Forest and Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas, Gibbs-White is the kind of talent Tottenham are seeking.
Much will depend on Forest’s Premier League fate as relegation to the Championship would surely mean Gibbs-White will be on the move.
Morgan Gibbs-White is just what Tottenham need
Eyebrows were raised when Nottingham Forest struck a deal to sign Gibbs-White from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer.
Forest ended up paying £25million rising to a staggering £42.5million for the attacking midfielder.
Steve Cooper worked with Gibbs-White in the England ranks and then during a loan spell at Swansea City.
Reuniting at Forest made sense, even it meant paying out a huge fee.
Gibbs-White has been a shining light for Forest this season, bagging four goals and six assists this season.
Immensely skilful and technically-gifted, Gibbs-White has been a real creative force for Forest.
Gibbs-White has racked up 60 key passes this season, behind only Trent Alexander-Arnold, James Ward-Prowse, Martin Odegaard, Pascal Gross, Bukayo Saka, Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes and Kieran Trippier.
Tottenham just don’t have that creative midfield player and Gibbs-White can really help bring some magic in the final third.
The 23-year-old won’t come cheap, but given his immense potential, Spurs would be wise to invest in him.
