Tottenham are preparing a renewed pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of the summer window. If Forest’s survival odds decline, Gibbs-White’s transfer odds to Spurs are likely to shorten — punters might back a Spurs move or wager on Forest selling key players if relegation markets shift against them.
Tottenham plot summer approach for Morgan Gibbs-White
Tottenham have reignited interest in Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White and are reportedly preparing for a summer bid should circumstances change at the City Ground. The England international, who was the subject of a high-profile approach last year, remains a priority target as Spurs look to add proven Premier League creativity.
Transfer background and contract situation
Last summer Spurs moved aggressively for Gibbs-White and were willing to meet a £60m valuation, but the transfer did not materialise and he committed to a new long-term deal at Forest, now running until 2028. That contract reportedly contains no repeat release clause, but Tottenham believe a change in Forest’s league fortunes could make the player more open to a move.
Why Spurs see Gibbs-White as the missing link
Gibbs-White is valued for his versatility as a number 10 or winger and his proven Premier League impact. Tottenham view him as someone who could slot into the attack alongside the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Xavi and James Maddison, offering creativity and goal threat the squad currently lacks. After mixed returns from other recruits, Spurs see Gibbs-White as ready-made quality.
Forest’s dilemma: keep the captain or cash in?
Forest are juggling survival concerns and the need to retain key players. With other stars attracting attention, relegation would intensify pressure to sell. The club will likely resist letting their captain go cheaply, but a significant offer or a drop to the Championship would shift the balance toward a sale.
Betting implications and market moves for punters
If Forest’s Premier League safety odds worsen, expect the betting markets to shorten for a summer move to Tottenham and for Forest to sell key players.
Punters could consider:
- Backing Spurs to sign Gibbs-White in summer transfer markets if Forest’s league position weakens.
- Betting on Gibbs-White to leave Nottingham Forest next season as a proxy for relegation risk.
- Watching early-market prices and injury/managerial news, since competition from other clubs could keep odds competitive.
Monitor relegation and transfer markets closely as the season closes; shifts in Forest’s survival probabilities will be the clearest signal that Gibbs-White’s transfer odds are moving.
