Tottenham would have to smash transfer record to sign target ahead of Premier League rivals
Tottenham could be forced to break their transfer record this summer as they plot a big-money move for a Premier League star who lit up the league last season.
It was reported before the opening of the summer window that Tottenham were looking to bring in a marquee signing this summer.
So far, those reports look to be true, as Mohammed Kudus is set to join Tottenham for £55 million on a six-year deal, and now it is claimed that Tottenham are eyeing the signing of another Premier League star, Morgan Gibbs White.
The Nottingham Forest man impressed last season, grabbing 17 goal contributions with seven goals and ten assists in 34 Premier League appearances, making him one of the most sought-after players in a Forest side that performed beyond expectations, finishing seventh and earning a spot in the Conference League.
Tottenham could break transfer record for Morgan Gibbs White
It is understood that Thomas Frank is a big admirer of Morgan Gibbs White, and that Tottenham have begun talks with Nottingham Forest over a move for the 25-year-old.
The Telegraph have now reported exactly how much Tottenham would be expected to pay if they are to sign the Englishman this summer.
It is claimed that after losing Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United this summer for £55 million, Nottingham Forest would be looking to demand a fee of over £60 million for Gibbs White.
Spurs face competition for Morgan Gibbs White
The midfielder, capable of playing on the wings, has two years left on his current deal, but it is claimed that Forest are looking to offer Gibbs White a new contract.
The publication also states that while Manchester City’s interest in Gibbs White has cooled off, following the signing of Rayan Cherki, Spurs still have some competition, as a few Premier League sides are interested in landing the Forest man.
However, given how well Tottenham managed to reach an agreement with West Ham United for Kudus, one would expect that the Lilywhites higher-ups would once more be looking to pull the same trick from under their sleeves as they look to add more depth to their midfield ahead of what would be a demanding campaign, both domestic and continental front.
