Tottenham Hotspur Remain Keen On Signing This Nottingham Forest Playmaker: Is He Worth The Fight? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White. It has been stated that Spurs have still not given up on the English talent as they look to get a deal over the line for him this summer.

Gibbs-White’s Impressive Form In The Premier League Last Season

Gibbs-White enjoyed a decent run of form at the Midlands club as he produced a lot of impressive performances for them in the Premier League. The 25-year-old registered seven goals and grabbed ten assists in 38 matches for Nottingham last season across all competitions.

The English talent was a reliable performer in the final third and deserves credit for averaging 1.96 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 34.4% of his attempts on target. Gibbs-White was even tidy when distributing possession in the opponent’s half, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 78.3% in the English top tier (stats via fbref.com).

His current contract at the City Ground will run out in the summer of 2027. Thus, Spurs have no option but to meet Nottingham’s demands if they want to recruit him this off-season.

Tottenham Hotspur Remain Keen On Recruiting Gibbs-White: Is He Worth The Fight?

Gibbs-White can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes in the final third. He is usually quite clever with his movements in and around the opponent’s penalty area.

The English talent is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder or as a right-sided wide player if told to do so. He has already got some experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham.

Gibbs-White would add more firepower to Spurs boss Thomas Frank’s attack. He has what it takes to compete for a regular first-team place at the North London club next season.

At 25, Gibbs-White has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a decent choice for Tottenham to consider in this summer transfer window. He is well worth the fight, so Frank would be wise to go all out to snap him up ahead of the new season.
