Tottenham have opened talks with Nottingham Forest over a possible £60m move for Morgan Gibbs-White.

Well-placed sources have told BBC Sport that a potential move to north London for the England international is set to accelerate in the coming days.

Gibbs-White, who has four England caps, was on Manchester City's radar earlier this summer but Pep Guardiola's side have since cooled their interest.

The 25-year-old, who scored seven goals and added eight assists in 34 Premier League games last season, has attracted interest from a number of England's top sides in recent months, but Spurs have stepped-up their efforts to sign the midfielder.

Forest are under no pressure to sell having agreed Anthony Elanga's £55m transfer to Newcastle earlier this week.

Spurs, who appointed Thomas Frank as new head coach last month, are also set to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55million and have an interest in Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa.
