Tottenham Reignite Interest in Morgan Gibbs-White as Forest Face Relegation Battle

Will Spurs Finally Land Their Man?

Tottenham Hotspur are back in the hunt for Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, according to Football Insider, in what could be one of the summer’s most intriguing transfer sagas.

The £56m-rated attacking midfielder was at the centre of last summer’s most dramatic transfer collapse. After reportedly completing medicals in North London, Forest threatened legal action over alleged tapping-up, forcing the deal to fall through. Gibbs-White subsequently extended his contract and pledged allegiance to Marinakis’ project in a now-infamous social media post.

The Perfect Storm Brewing

Fast forward to today, and circumstances have shifted dramatically. Forest’s alarming form has left them just three points above the drop zone, while Gibbs-White has quietly delivered seven goals and four assists despite the chaos around him.

According to Football Insider, the England international won’t entertain Championship football if Forest go down. That’s music to Tottenham’s ears, especially with Manchester City and Aston Villa also circling. The report suggests Gibbs-White remains open to a Spurs move after last summer’s disappointment.

Tudor’s Arrival Changes Everything

New boss Igor Tudor faces Arsenal this Sunday in his first match, with Forest coincidentally hosting Liverpool the same day. A Forest defeat would edge them closer to relegation and make Gibbs-White’s departure increasingly inevitable.

For Spurs, this represents unfinished business. Tudor needs creative reinforcements to drag Tottenham out of 16th place, and Gibbs-White’s versatility and Premier League pedigree make him an obvious target. The summer window could finally deliver the transfer that never was.
