Tottenham Hotspur are weighing up a January move for Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White, with the Midlands club valuing their key player at around £125 million. The potential transfer comes despite Spurs having spent close to £400 million during the summer window.
Gibbs-White has started the season as a central figure for Forest, who sit 13th in the Premier League with five points from five games. He provided the assist for Igor Jesus's late winner in the 2-1 victory at Aston Villa earlier this month, a key contribution in a run of form that reads one win, two draws and two losses. The 26-year-old's creativity remains vital for a side that has scored just four league goals so far.
Losing their primary playmaker mid-season would be a significant blow for Steve Cooper's squad, which is already dealing with injuries to Nicolò Savona and Nikola Milenković. Gibbs-White's departure would leave a major creative void in a team that has struggled for consistent offensive output, netting only once in their last three matches including a 1-0 home defeat to Coventry City. The club's stance suggests they would only entertain an offer that reflects his immense importance to their project.
Forest's immediate focus is on halting their slide when they travel to face Crystal Palace on October 11th. Any serious approach from Tottenham is expected to be met with firm resistance, as Forest look to build stability after a difficult start that has left them ten points adrift of the league summit.
