Tottenham chases Premier League star despite €146 million price
While Tottenham Hotspur, after a disappointing start to the season, is still seeking offensive reinforcement, the management is once again turning its attention in January to Premier League star Morgan Gibbs-White – a transfer that could cost Nottingham Forest around €146 million according to reports.
Previous Summer Offer and Renewed Target
In the summer of 2025, Tottenham Hotspur had already been actively searching for the English attacking midfielder, but a move did not materialise at that time. As Football Insider reports, the club remains on the ball this winter and has placed Gibbs-White back on its transfer list.
Journalist Pete O'Rourke explained that Tottenham's interest remains strong. After the failed summer transfer, Nottingham Forest gave the player a new contract and made him one of the key figures in the squad.
High Transfer Fee and Season Record
The transfer fee is reported differently: one report mentions €146 million, another £125 million, so the demand, according to sources, lies between €125 million and €146 million. The potential transfer would represent an extremely expensive winter deal for the Spurs.
In the current Premier League season, the attacking midfielder has so far scored one goal and provided two assists in five appearances. This statistic underscores his potential to increase Tottenham's attacking creativity.
The Spurs have urgently sought reinforcement after a weak start to the season, in which they managed only two draws and three defeats from five games. Despite significant summer investments, the necessary offensive sharpness is still lacking.
Coach Roberto De Zerbi, according to Fabrizio Romano, continues to enjoy the club's confidence, which opens the possibility of integrating additional creativity in January. A potential transfer of Gibbs‑White could precisely fill this gap.
Tottenham plans to secure additional offensive options with Gibbs‑White in January to stabilise the season. The upcoming decision shows how willing the management is to take a high financial risk to strengthen the squad.
