Morgan Gibbs-White set to complete £60m move to Tottenham
Morgan Gibbs-White, the Nottingham Forest midfielder, is poised to complete a £60 million move to Tottenham after a medical on July 11.
Spurs is set to trigger the 25-year-old's release clause, with reports confirming that the move will proceed rapidly in the coming 24 hours.
The English international, who has earned four caps for his country, had been linked with a switch to Manchester City this summer, but the Premier League side have since cooled their interest.
Gibbs-White enjoyed a solid season at Forest, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists in 34 Premier League appearances.

Gibbs-White’s move to Spurs will follow a wave of signings under the club’s new head coach, Thomas Frank, who took the reins last month.
The north London club also secured the services of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55 million and are reportedly interested in Brentford’s Yoane Wissa.
Gibbs-White joined Forest in August 2022 from Wolves for a then-record £25 million deal. Over his three years at the City Ground, he has made 118 appearances, scoring 18 goals and providing 28 assists.
He made his England debut in a Nations League victory over the Republic of Ireland and was most recently seen as a substitute in a friendly loss to Senegal.
His upcoming move to Tottenham marks another significant step in his career, further strengthening Spurs’ midfield options.
