Tottenham previously activated the confidential £60 million release clause in Morgan Gibbs-White’s contract, but the proposed move fell through after Nottingham Forest threatened legal action.
Following the collapse of the transfer, Gibbs-White committed his future to Forest by signing a new contract extension, while Spurs shifted their focus and eventually completed a deal for Xavi Simons.
A year later, Tottenham are reportedly back in the race for the England international. Gibbs-White enjoyed an outstanding campaign with Nottingham Forest, playing a key role in their Premier League survival and contributing 15 league goals along with four assists.
Speaking on the Last Word On Spurs podcast, Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge revealed that the midfielder still holds Tottenham in high regard despite the failed move.
“I spoke to Morgan Gibbs-White, and he thinks very highly of Spurs, very, very highly,” Bridge said.
Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit, however. Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain are all believed to be monitoring Gibbs-White’s situation following his impressive performances.
Despite the growing interest, Nottingham Forest remain determined to keep one of their most influential players and are expected to resist any attempts to lure him away.
