There is a player that Chairman Daniel Levy can't forget. He will try to recruit Morgan Gibbs-White again in the winter transfer market.

England's cutoff side reported in an exclusive report on the 2nd (Korea time) that `Tottenham will try to recruit Morgan Gibbs-White again in January.'

Cutoffside is 'Gibbswhite chose to stay in Nottingham Forest for family reasons. However, in January, Tottenham could have a new evaluation, and Aston Villa, West Ham and Newcastle are also aiming for him. 'The club insiders believe that the transfer can proceed if the offer date of €65 million to €70 million comes in.'"

Tottenham was reported to be close to signing Gibbs White through reports from several leading reporters in July. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, said 'Gibs White is going to Tottenham. After contacting Nottingham, it invoked a buyout clause of 60 million pounds (about 110 billion won)," it said.

The BBC, a British public broadcaster with the highest public confidence, also plans to complete the transfer within 24 hours by invoking the £60 million buyout clause existing in Gibbs White's contract. Gibbs-White was the target of Manchester City's recruitment this summer, but Tottenham began to sign Pep Guardiola. Tottenham showed an aggressive performance, so the transfer is expected to be completed'

Gibbs-White, who made his professional debut through the Wolverhampton youth team in 2017, was already considered the best talent developed by the Wolverhampton youth system and received tremendous attention. Gibbs-White, who later settled in Wolverhampton on loan, was offered by several teams and moved to Nottingham, where he invested a huge transfer fee.

Even after his transfer to Nottingham, Gibbs-White continued to play well and established himself as the ace under Nunu Santo. He played in 38 official games in the 2022-2023 season and became the team's main player, scoring 6 goals and 10 assists in 42 games in the 2023-2024 season, and 7 goals and 8 assists in 38 games in the 2024-2025 season. Therefore, Tottenham aimed for Gibbs White as a new core of the team's midfield and seemed on the verge of being signed.

However, there was a problem. Nottingham Forest have blocked the transfer. British media reported 'Nottingham consulted his lawyer on what they thought was Tottenham's illegal contact They didn't allow negotiations and cut off all contact with Tottenham. The transfer may be unlikely to be blocked altogether, but it is definitely stagnating,' it said. Tottenham then gave up Gibbs-White, who re-signed with Nottingham to stay.

However, Tottenham seems to plan to target Gibbs White again even after renewing the contract. As it is difficult to guarantee whether James Maddison will be able to play this season due to a long-term injury, Tottenham will inevitably need to strengthen its attacking midfielder position. There is a good possibility that interest in recruiting Gibbs White will increase depending on the situation until the winter transfer market.

Attention is focusing on whether Gibbs White, who signed a renewal of his contract instead of Tottenham's uniform this summer, will be able to take on new challenges again in the winter.
