TO HIS CREDIT, GIBBS-WHITE HAS JOINED UP WITH THE SQUAD IN PORTUGAL TO CONTINUE PRE-SEASON TRAINING WHEN HE COULD’VE EASILY REFUSED TO TAKE PART TO FORCE A MOVE THROUGH. HOWEVER, HE REMAINS LIKELY TO LEAVE THE CITY GROUND THIS SUMMER, WITH NOTTINGHAM FOREST NEWS REVEALING THAT MANCHESTER CITY WERE PUT OFF RETURNING FOR GIBBS-WHITE DUE TO HIS DESIRE TO MAKE THE SWITCH TO NORTH LONDON.
CITY MAY BE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN SPURS ON PAPER, BUT A NEW REPORT HAS INDICATED JUST WHY THE ENGLISHMAN IS KEEN TO PLY HIS TRADE AT THE LILYWHITES.
WHY MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE IS ‘EXCITED’ ABOUT TOTTENHAM MOVE
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO CLUBS ARE IN A TRICKY POSITION RIGHT NOW, AFTER FOREST SHUT DOWN COMMUNICATIONS WITH SPURS AS THE DISPUTE OVER HOW THEY CAME TO KNOW ABOUT HIS £60M RELEASE CLAUSE CONTINUES. FOR THE PLAYER, THOUGH, AGREEING TO THE SPURS MOVE LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN A RATHER STRAIGHTFORWARD DECISION, WITH GIVEMESPORT PROVIDING INFORMATION AS TO WHY GIBBS-WHITE IS SO KEEN ON THE TRANSFER.
THE REPORT SAID: “GMS SOURCES HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT GIBBS-WHITE, WHO PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN SPEARHEADING NOTTINGHAM FOREST TO EUROPEAN QUALIFICATION DURING THE 2024/25 CAMPAIGN, WANTS TO JOIN TOTTENHAM AND IS EXCITED BY THE ROLE PUT FORWARD BY FRANK WHEN THE CAPITAL CLUB INITIALLY TRIED TO SECURE HIS SERVICES.”
