Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is set to have a medical at Tottenham ahead of a proposed £60million transfer.
Spurs have met the England international’s release clause and a deal is accelerating at pace, the PA news agency understands.
Gibbs-White joined Forest for £25million in the summer of 2022 following their promotion to the Premier League and was instrumental in delivering European football to Forest for the first time since 1996, with seven goals and eight assists in 34 Premier League games.
He was on Manchester City’s radar earlier this summer but north London now appears to be his next destination.
Forest’s late collapse in their pursuit of Champions League football has proved costly as Gibbs-White will now swap the Conference League for Europe’s premier competition.
Spurs, rebuilding under Thomas Frank, agreed a £55million deal with West Ham for Mohammed Kudus, with the Ghana international having a medical.
Losing Gibbs-White, who has won four caps for England, is another blow to Forest, who are also set to sell Anthony Elanga to Newcastle.
