Journalist Dean Jones stated that Nottingham Forest had no intention of approving Morgan Gibbs-White’s transfer this month, despite his belief that the midfield player would be a fantastic fit for Tottenham Hotspur.Following their summer assault on Forest to sign Brendan Johnson, it has now been revealed that Spurs are also interested in another of the team’s youthful talent, Gabriel-White.

Over the past 18 months, the young player has slowly grown, and it looks like he is currently having a breakthrough season at the City Ground.

The 23-year-old gave Forest’s 2-1 victory over Manchester United maybe one of his best performances to date.

week, netting an 82nd winner for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.

 

A few days ago, The Daily Mail disclosed that Tottenham’s scouts travelled to the Midlands to observe the midfield player during the match, as the North London team considers making a January bid for the player.

Spurs may need to hold out for Morgan Gibbs-White.
Jones, who has insisted that Gibbs-White would blend in well with the Spurs midfield, has now stated that he understands why Ange Postecoglou’s team would be interested in him.

The reporter did, however, claim that Forest will not consider allowing the young player to go midseason since they saw him as a key component of their future.

Giving an interview to GiveMeSport, Jones discussed the player’s alleged interest from Tottenham. “I think it would be a really nice move if they could get Gibbs-White, because then you can see the kind of personality that you’re building within the team as well as what you’re getting technically out of these players,” Jones said.

The selection of players who will boost team morale and the extent to which the team may still be improved will be a top priority for Postecoglou. That’s where I believe Gibbs-White would belong.

“Considering the current state of affairs, I find it extremely unlikely that Nottingham Forest would let a player of that calibre to leave during the January transfer window. He seemed to enjoy being a major part of what they do. That would be difficult to pull off, in my opinion.

Gibbs-White might get close to £50 million from Forest, like they did for Johnson in the previous summer. It would seem that Tottenham would prefer to pursue Conor Gallagher, who seems to be Postecoglou’s primary midfield target, for that kind of money.
