Tottenham Hotspur have made a major move in the summer transfer window by triggering the £60 million release clause of Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. The deal is expected to be finalized within days, with the player scheduled to undergo a medical and agree personal terms.
Gibbs-White, 25, was one of Forest’s standout performers last season, registering seven goals and eight assists in the Premier League. His versatility and technical ability made him a key figure in Forest’s midfield and a target for several top clubs. Tottenham have now won the race for his signature as they continue to strengthen under new manager Thomas Frank.
The transfer comes as part of a clear strategy from Spurs to build a younger and more dynamic squad. Gibbs-White is seen as a creative force capable of playing in multiple midfield roles, offering both attacking threat and work rate. His arrival adds to the earlier signing of Mohammed Kudus, as the North London club looks to compete more aggressively in both domestic and European competitions.
Gibbs-White joined Nottingham Forest from Wolves in 2022 and quickly became a fan favorite at the City Ground. His development over the past two seasons has been impressive, and his move to Tottenham marks a major step forward in his career. For Forest, the departure is a significant loss, but the club is expected to reinvest the fee as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
Tottenham are still active in the transfer market, with reports suggesting more signings could follow in the coming weeks. For now, the addition of Gibbs-White is a major boost as the club prepares for pre-season and aims for a strong start in the Premier League.
