Bayern Munich are interested in signing Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. The England international has become a key figure at the City Ground since his arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Interest from the German champions comes as Forest sit 13th in the Premier League table with five points from five games. Their recent form reads one win, two draws and two losses, with a 1-0 defeat to Coventry City in their last outing. Gibbs-White provided the assist for Igor Jesus's late winner in the 2-1 victory at Aston Villa earlier this month, his only direct goal contribution so far this term.
Gibbs-White is a creative central player who operates as a number ten or in a deeper midfield role. His vision and ability to carry the ball have made him a central part of Forest's attacking play. At 26, he is entering what many consider the prime years for a footballer.
Forest have not commented on the reported interest from Munich. The club's focus is on preparing for their next Premier League fixture, an away match against Crystal Palace on 11 October.
Any potential move would involve a significant transfer fee, given Gibbs-White's importance to the team and his contract situation. He signed a long-term deal with Forest when he joined, securing his value to the club. The current speculation is a sign of his continued development and performance at the highest level.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be keen to keep his squad intact as they look to climb the table. Forest have scored four goals and conceded five so far this season, leaving them with a negative goal difference. The team is ten points behind early leaders Manchester City.

The immediate priority is the trip to Selhurst Park, where Forest will face a Crystal Palace side currently 15th in the standings.
