Latest Nottingham Forest news: Reds ace prepares to face Tottenham Hotspur despite transfer rumours.
Morgan Gibbs-White had a show-stopping performance in the first half of Nottingham Forest’s stunning triumph over Fulham on Tuesday night.
The 24-year-old was a delight to watch. He was at his breathtaking best as he led the Reds to a stunning 3-1 victory. His goal finished things off nicely.
It was the kind of display that would make Forest supporters salivate. It was also the type of spectacle that made admirers discuss.
Transfer rumours have already circulated. The club’s four-point deduction for violating financial rules, along with the notion that sales will be forced this summer, only fueled the fire.
Tottenham Hotspur is one of the teams that have been associated with Gibbs-White. On Sunday, the former England Under-21 international will face Ange Postecoglou’s club as the Reds travel to the capital.
There will undoubtedly be a lot of interest in how the Forest ace performs. He doesn’t appear disturbed by such speculation.
Gibbs-White has immediately gained popularity among Reds fans, as evidenced by Forza Garibaldi’s pre-match performance in midweek. He may not be “one of their own,” but many will believe he is as good as.
What occurs between now and May will have a significant impact on how the summer unfolds at the City Ground. Relegation or survival will affect transfer plans.
In any case, certain expenses will be incurred. However, if Forest survives and resources allow, Gibbs-White can be the foundation of a team – because the dangerous aspect is that he can improve much further.
The initial £25 million spent by the Reds to capture his services from Wolverhampton Wanderers has proven to be a great value. Even the possibility of the cost rising to £42 million appears to be good value.
He is part of the club’s nucleus of talented young(ish) players, which also includes Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Danilo, Murillo, and Neco Williams. Everyone should have their finest years ahead of them. The chance to compete in the Premier League next season with that bunch would be a thrilling one for Forest.
