Nottingham Forest are about to lose Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham Hotspur.
Morgan Gibbs-White is close to joining Tottenham Hotspur after Thomas Frank’s side activated his £60m release clause.
Morgan Gibbs-White has already been authorised to have his medical, so it’s another big loss for Nottingham Forest after Anthony Elanga’s impending transfer to Newcastle United.
Forest fans have been very vocal about the Gibbs-White transfer on social media, with many sharing a similar opinion.
Nottingham Forest fans have a lot to say about Morgan Gibbs-White’s transfer to Tottenham Hotspur
Forest fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice their concerns with Elanga and now Gibbs-White departing the City Ground.
@ethanlamb01 posted: “The task we face in this summer window has just become a whole lot bigger than we originally expected. Gibbs-White: 7 goals, 8 assists. Elanga: 6 goals, 11 assists. Over £100m to work with, but a massive blow losing our 2nd & 3rd highest contributors from 2024/25.”
“Idk what we are thinking selling MGW. if we don’t spend big now on a proper replacement, call the European tour off because we will be in a relegation battle,” @Chazz904339211 admitted.

“I genuinely don’t want Europa league, our team is getting ripped apart and think we might do ok in conference league but at this rate we will wil get battered in Europa,” @jordanleeming added.
“The worst thing about all this isn’t even the sales, it’s we’ve lost all power we had. We was 3rd in league 9 points clear of 5th with a few games to go and didn’t strengthen when we was in power. Now, we’ve weakened our hand further in negotiating for players,” @forest_mich commented.
@Craig74Nov said: “Murillo, Anderson, CHO and Milenkovic will all be asking questions… With how the last 48hrs have gone, I’d not even be surprised if Murillo went.”
“If Gibbs White knew he was going to Tottenham with talks happening last month the most honourable thing he could’ve done is tell the club so at least we may have kept Elanga,” @jgnffc noted.
Forest lining up James McAtee as Gibbs-White’s replacement
Forest already have plans in place to replace Gibbs-White, as for a while, it looked as though he could join Manchester City.
James McAtee has been earmarked as Gibbs-White’s replacement, and according to The Telegraph, they’re now ready to make a formal offer.
The 22-year-old is valued at around £25m, with Pep Guardiola deeming him surplus to requirements, having left him out of the Club World Cup squad this summer.
Brentford’s Yoane Wissa is also emerging as a potential addition, although his lofty £50m price tag may be off-putting.
