Tottenham Secure Morgan Gibbs-White in Landmark £60m Transfer

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest by activating his £60 million release clause. This move is a big success in their summer transfer plans.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Tottenham had direct talks with Nottingham Forest and triggered Gibbs-White‘s release clause. The 25-year-old England international will have a medical in the next 24 hours and is expected to officially complete his transfer soon after. Gibbs-White played a key role for Forest last season, scoring seven goals and providing 11 assists in 34 league games, helping the team finish seventh and qualify for the UEFA Conference League for the first time in decades. His arrival follows the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, as Spurs strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

A previous report confirmed that Tottenham agreed to pay West Ham United about £60 million for Mohammed Kudus.

WHY IT MATTERS

This signing highlights Tottenham’s strong focus on building their squad for the new season. Last year, Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League but have qualified for the Champions League by winning the Europa League according to a previous report.

Gibbs-White’s creativity and versatility in midfield are expected to boost Tottenham’s attack under manager Thomas Frank. Losing Gibbs-White is a big setback for Nottingham Forest, who also sold Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United, further reducing their squad depth after qualifying for Europe.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Gibbs-White is set for his medical exam on Friday and is likely to start pre-season training with Spurs this weekend. Tottenham’s first pre-season friendly is on July 13 against Celtic

as reported previously.

Tottenham’s next game is a friendly against Sevilla, as they get ready for their Premier League opener against Burnley. The club is just behind Manchester City and Arsenal in pre-season expectations and hopes that these high-profile signings will bring them closer. Nottingham Forest, who begin their league season against Brentford, need to act quickly to replace their departing players and maintain their position after last year’s success.
