Tottenham learns the price tag for Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White

Nottingham Forest is holding firm on their asking price for Morgan Gibbs-White, even though Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham are showing serious interest in the 24-year-old attacking midfielder.

Gibbs-White has established himself as a key player for Forest since his move from Wolverhampton Wanderers two years ago. At the time, his transfer was a club-record signing worth £25 million, with an additional £17 million in potential add-ons.

His performance last season further justified this investment, as he delivered 10 assists and five goals in 37 Premier League appearances, playing a crucial role in ensuring Forest’s survival in the top flight.

The creative midfielder is known for his exceptional ball skills and ability to thrive in tight spaces. His contributions have not gone unnoticed, and Forest’s valuation reflects his importance to the team.

Football Insider reports that Forest is resolute in its asking price, unwilling to negotiate unless an offer exceeds £40 million. This firm stance highlights Gibbs-White’s significant value to the club and their reluctance to let go of a player who has become integral to their midfield.

Tottenham learns the price tag for Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White

Interest in Gibbs-White has been particularly intense from Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs scouts have been monitoring his progress closely and are impressed by the strides he has made since joining Forest.

There is a growing buzz among Tottenham supporters about the prospect of Gibbs-White linking up with Spurs vice-captain James Maddison, especially after Gibbs-White was seen training with Maddison this summer. The potential partnership has generated excitement among fans eager to see how these two creative players might complement each other on the field.

However, Tottenham's interest comes with a hefty price tag. To secure Gibbs-White, Tottenham would need to match Nottingham Forest’s asking price, which is in line with the £30 million spent on Leeds United's Archie Gray earlier this summer. Tottenham has already invested significantly, and adding Gibbs-White to their roster would further enhance their attacking options.

Gibbs-White’s versatility means he can play as an attacking midfielder or on the wing, giving Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, some great options. Even though Tottenham already has a solid attacking midfielder in Maddison, adding Gibbs-White could boost competition and depth. Plus, since Gibbs-White is homegrown, he’d help fulfill the club’s domestic player requirements, making him an even more appealing choice.
