Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, according to TEAMtalk. The 26-year-old has become one of the Premier League’s most creative attackers.
Why Gibbs-White Is Attracting Interest
Gibbs-White came through the ranks at Wolves before a loan spell at Sheffield United raised his profile. He joined Forest in 2022 and scored 18 goals with seven assists across all competitions last season. Despite Forest’s difficult start to this campaign, he remains one of their key performers.
His numbers this term underline his quality, with 8.25 line-breaking passes per game and 21 chances created.
Spurs Eye Creative Boost
Tottenham reportedly came close to signing him in summer 2025 and still rate him highly. TEAMtalk claims Roberto De Zerbi wants more creativity in attack and is not fully sold on some current options, including James Maddison and Conor Gallagher.
United Enter the Race
United have reportedly made enquiries as they weigh up their midfield and attacking options. Forest are said to be determined to keep their man, so any move would likely cost more than his £66m Transfermarkt valuation.
Our Take
Gibbs-White would suit either side, but Forest’s stance could prove the biggest obstacle. Spurs appear to have the stronger history of interest, while United’s involvement could push the price up. Whoever moves, it is likely to be a costly pursuit.
