Gibbs-White set for £60m Spurs move medical

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is set to undergo a medical at Tottenham on Friday before completing a £60m move.

Well-placed sources have told BBC Sport the 25-year-old has a £60m release clause, which Spurs are set to trigger with the formalities of his switch to accelerate in the next 24 hours.

Gibbs-White, who has four England caps, was on Manchester City’s radar this summer but Pep Guardiola’s side have cooled their interest.

He scored seven goals and added eight assists in 34 Premier League games last season, and has attracted interest from a number of England’s top clubs in recent months, but Spurs have stepped up their efforts to sign him.

Gibbs-White is set to follow Anthony Elanga out of the City Ground with Forest agreeing the latter’s £55m sale to Newcastle earlier this week.

Gibbs-White joined Forest from Wolves for a then club-record fee of £25m plus add-ons in August 2022, on a five-year deal. He has made 118 appearances in three years at Forest, scoring 18 goals and providing 28 assists.
