Gibbs-White to Spurs: talk of a January revisit, but no deal in sight

The situation

Tottenham Hotspur are still being linked with Morgan Gibbs-White, but the latest reports point to a later window rather than an immediate deal. Reports from early November describe Spurs monitoring the Nottingham Forest midfielder and ready to consider another move in January if he becomes available, with Manchester United and Liverpool also said to be watching his situation. There is no bid, no agreement, and no indication Forest are willing to sell when the window opens on 1 January.

The reporting

Graeme Bailey first reported it on 15 September, saying Spurs remained interested and planned to revisit a move next year. Since then, Football Insider and CaughtOffside have carried similar claims, and Transfer News Live has twice relayed reporting from Ekrem Konur linking both Spurs and Manchester United. That is several outlets repeating variations of the same idea rather than separate confirmations, and no trusted reporter has backed any of it.

The outlook

The chance of this happening before the January window shuts is slim. Gibbs-White still has 18 months left on his contract when that window opens, and nothing in the reporting suggests Forest are ready to negotiate a sale in that timeframe. The interest reads as background positioning for a future window rather than an active chase, and competition from Manchester United and Liverpool adds another layer of uncertainty.

The context

Gibbs-White joined Forest from Wolverhampton Wanderers for €29.5m in August 2022 and is valued at €82m today, a sharp rise that reflects his form since. Spurs have shown they will spend big in midfield, paying €99m for Mateus Fernandes and €65m for Xavi Simons, so fee size alone would not rule out Gibbs-White if Forest ever opened talks.
