Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest, but they have not been able to secure an agreement with the Premier League club yet.
There were rumours that they are prepared to trigger his release clause, but Nottingham Forest are unhappy that the confidential information regarding his release clause has been leaked, and they are preparing a legal approach against Tottenham.
It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can work out their differences and get the transfer across the line. The 25-year-old midfielder is keen on the move, and the opportunity to play for Tottenham will be quite exciting for him.
Tottenham need Morgan Gibbs-White
The north London outfit need more creativity and depth in the midfield as well. The 25-year-old is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
To get the deal across the line, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is now playing mind games, according to John Wenham.
He has revealed on Tottenham News that the links with the Brentford Striker Yoane Wissa might not be legitimate, and Tottenham are probably using them as a way to put pressure on Nottingham Forest. It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal for Gibbs-White across the line.
Danie Levy playing mind games
“I think the resurfaced news about Wissa has more to do with putting pressure on Nottingham Forest a little bit rather than pursuing the player,” Wenham said.
“I just think we’re quite heavily stacked in the wing positions and there has to be some outgoings there first before any new wingers come to the club, with Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel permanently joining this summer already. “
He was quite impressive in the Premier League last season, scoring seven goals and producing 10 assists. His numbers could improve when he’s playing in a better team, and he could be a star for Tottenham.
