Just days after reports emerged that Tottenham and several of their rivals are circling over a Nottingham Forest star, the Midlands club’s stance on the player has been revealed.
We have seen a number of reports over recent weeks suggesting that Tottenham are prioritising reinforcements in the middle of the park in the summer.
Just a few days ago, it emerged that Tottenham are plotting an ambitious move for Forest midfielder, Morgan Gibbs-White, who has emerged as one of the most consistent box-to-box midfielders in the Premier League over the last few years.
The same article explained that the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United were also circling over the 25-year-old.

How Nottingham Forest feel about Gibbs-White interest
TBR Football have now revealed that Forest are aware of the interest in their star midfielder from Tottenham Hotspur and others, but they have no intention of letting him go.
The club are of the belief that if they achieve a top-five finish and get into the Champions League, they will be able to persuade Gibbs-White to remain at the City Ground.
In fact, Forest are prepared to open talks over a new deal with the former Wolves man and they hope to tie him down to a long-term contract and keep him off the clutches of the Premier League’s big hitters.

The publication adds that while Gibbs-White has a number of admirers in the Premier League, Newcastle United have shown the ‘strongest interest’ so far.
