Tottenham Hotspur have made a move in their summer transfers. They have activated Morgan Gibbs-White’s £60 million release clause. The England international is authorized for a Friday medical before moving from Nottingham Forest.

TRANSFER NEWS: GIBBS-WHITE TO UNDERGO MEDICAL

Tottenham have triggered the £60 million release clause in Morgan Gibbs-White’s Nottingham Forest contract. The 25-year-old midfielder will have a medical, allowing him to join North London. This follows Tottenham’s £55 million deal for Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, as Tottenham agreed to pay West Ham United about £60 million for Mohammed Kudus.

Both players will strengthen the Spurs squad for the campaign. Gibbs-White helped Forest finish seventh in the Premier League last season, scoring seven goals and assisting ten in 34 matches. According to a previous report, Nottingham Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season.

TOTTEHAM AND FOREST: SEASONS IN REVIEW

Gibbs-White is leaving Nottingham Forest after helping them qualify for Europe. This was their best league performance in decades. According to a previous report, Nottingham Forest has qualified for the UEFA Conference League. Tottenham ended the season in seventeenth place, losing out on a Champions League spot, but their Europa League win last season means they still qualified to the Champions League under new management. Signing players like Gibbs-White and Kudus shows Spurs’ intent to challenge for a Champions League spot.

WHAT’S NEXT: IMPACT AND UPCOMING FIXTURES

After clearing his medical, Gibbs-White will join a developing Tottenham squad for the new season. Spurs’ opening league match is against Burnley, who finished in one of the 2 automatic qualifying spots in the Championship, where they had the best defense and will be a tough opponent. Spurs will aim for Gibbs-White’s midfield creativity and energy to help them reach the top four. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest starts their season against Fulham. They need to rebuild after losing two top attackers and must work fast in the transfer market to strengthen their squad.
