Tottenham Set to Complete £60 Million Morgan Gibbs-White Transfer
LONDON, England – Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of making a significant statement in the summer transfer window, with reports indicating they have triggered the £60 million release clause for Nottingham Forest’s highly-rated midfielder, Morgan Gibbs-White.
The 25-year-old England international is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days, with a view to completing his move to North London.
The news comes hot on the heels of Tottenham’s agreement to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55 million, signaling a substantial investment in bolstering their attacking options under new manager Thomas Frank.
The combined outlay for Kudus and Gibbs-White could exceed £115 million, highlighting Spurs’ ambition ahead of the new season and their return to Champions League football.
Gibbs-White has been a standout performer for Nottingham Forest since his club-record £25 million (plus £17 million in add-ons) move from Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 2022.
In the recently concluded 2024/2025 season, he was instrumental in Forest’s qualification for European football, contributing an impressive seven goals and eleven assists in 34 Premier League appearances. His overall record for Forest stands at 18 goals and 28 assists in 118 appearances across all competitions, often wearing the captain’s armband.
His versatility and creative prowess, capable of playing as an attacking midfielder or even on the wing, are said to be key factors in Thomas Frank’s admiration. The Danish manager was reportedly a long-term admirer of Gibbs-White during his time at Brentford.
For Nottingham Forest, the departure of their talisman will be a significant blow, despite the substantial fee. Gibbs-White has become a fan favorite at the City Ground, and his influence on the pitch has been undeniable.
While Forest will receive a healthy profit on their initial investment (with Wolves also set to receive a 10% sell-on clause), replacing his creativity and leadership will be a major challenge.
The move marks a significant step up for Gibbs-White, offering him the opportunity to compete at the highest level of European club football.
Tottenham supporters will be eager to see how their new additions integrate into the squad as they prepare for a challenging season ahead.
