Nottingham Forest could sell Morgan Gibbs-White for £40 million

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham will be able to sign Morgan Gibbs-White for a fee of around £40 million now. Initially, the Nottingham Forest star was expected to cost a lot more. But it seems that the Premier League outfit are prepared to reduce their demands.

The 24-year-old has been excellent for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, and he has 16 goal contributions in all competitions. He could develop into a top-class player for Tottenham with the right guidance, and it remains to be seen whether the North London club can get the deal done.

Spurs can afford to pay £40 million for the versatile midfielder, and they need a player like him as well. Recent reports have also linked the 24-year-old with Newcastle United and Aston Villa. Gibbs-White is capable of operating as a winger as well as a central attacking midfielder.

The Englishman will contribute with goals and creativity in the final third. His arrival will help share the creative burden with James Maddison, and he could bring in more competition for places as well. Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson were not at their best this past season, and more competition for places will help every player improve.

Morgan Gibbs-White could be excited to join Tottenham

The 24-year-old midfielder will look to compete at a high level. He will hope to join a club where he can compete for trophies. Tottenham could provide him with that opportunity in the coming seasons. It would be a major step up in his career, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can finalise the agreement soon.

The midfielder is entering his peak years, and he could be a key player for Tottenham over the next few seasons. Gibbs-White is well-settled in English football, and he could make an immediate impact at Tottenham. The North London club will be competing in European football next year, and they will be hoping to push for domestic trophies as well.

Spurs need quality signings during the summer transfer window, and someone like Gibbs-White will certainly help them improve. There is no doubt that the 24-year-old midfielder could eventually justify the £40 million investment.
