Tottenham Reportedly Eye January Move for Morgan Gibbs‑White

Gibbs‑White's scoring surge, a recent agent change, Forest's firm contract stance, owner Evangelos Marinakis' opposition could make a January transfer costly and difficult.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported in late September 2026 that Tottenham remain interested in signing Morgan Gibbs‑White and could renew their pursuit in the January transfer window.
  • The widely repeated £125 million figure has circulated in coverage but is unverified and should be treated as a media estimate rather than a confirmed valuation.
  • Forest strengthened their hold on Gibbs‑White after Tottenham's approach two summers ago when owner Evangelos Marinakis threatened legal action and the club then signed the player to a multi‑year contract.
  • Gibbs‑White's market profile has risen after a 15‑goal 2025–26 league season and 13 goals in the 2026 calendar year, and he changed agents from CAA Stellar to ROOF in August 2026.
  • Sources link Spurs' possible January interest to pressure on manager Roberto De Zerbi following a poor start to the campaign, but Forest's contract position and owner resistance make a sale uncertain and likely expensive.
