A new report has shed light on whether Morgan Gibbs-White’s stance on a move to Tottenham Hotspur has changed after the midfielder joined Nottingham Forest’s training camp in Portugal.
As reports emerge that Alexander Isak has refused to travel on the pre-season tour with Newcastle United to force through a move, Spurs fans will be wondering why Gibbs-White has not done the same.
Earlier this week, we heard that Gibbs-White has joined the Forest squad in Portugal for their pre-season tour, although he travelled a few days late due to personal reasons.
Some Spurs fans on social media have called on the club to abandon the Gibbs-White deal and pursue other alternatives, with many understandably frustrated by how long this saga has dragged on.
Morgan Gibbs-White remains keen on joining Tottenham
A new report in TBR Football has now revealed that the attacking midfielder remains intent on finalising a move to N17 this summer.
Despite continuing to train with Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, the 24-year-old has made it clear to the Forest hierarchy that he wants to complete a move to Spurs.
The report reveals that Tottenham Hotspur have now started working on other targets over the last few days, with Thomas Frank keen on bringing a number six through the door.

However, getting the Gibbs-White deal over the line remains the priority for the Lilywhites at the moment.
Nottingham Forest have competition for Gibbs-White replacement
Some outlets have claimed that Forest may simply be delaying the Gibbs-White deal until they sign a replacement.
It was previously reported that Forest were edging closer to landing James McAtee from Manchester City, but their move has become complicated now.
This latest update from TBR Football suggests that while the Midlands club are holding talks over a deal for McAtee, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund are also showing keen interest in the 22-year-old.
