Tottenham are considering a January move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, with the England international now believed to be valued at around £125 million.
Spurs have maintained their interest since an attempted deal collapsed in 2025. The club came close to triggering a £60 million release clause, but Forest challenged the approach and threatened legal action.
Gibbs-White subsequently remained at the City Ground and signed a new contract. However, reports from Football Insider suggest Tottenham could return with a fresh proposal in one of the upcoming transfer windows.

TEAMtalk has also reported that Gibbs-White remains a long-term priority for Tottenham, despite the dispute surrounding last summer’s proposed transfer.
The midfielder’s valuation reflects his importance to Forest and his recent form. He scored 15 Premier League goals last season and is reported to have been the division’s leading scorer in the 2026 calendar year, with 13 goals.
Forest are under little immediate pressure to sell. The club have already received a substantial fee for Elliot Anderson, whose move to Manchester City reduced the need to sanction another major departure.
Gibbs-White would offer Tottenham goals, creativity and Premier League experience, while his ability to play as a number 10 or advanced midfielder could provide Roberto De Zerbi with another option.
That versatility could be particularly valuable after Spurs made a poor start to the season and struggled to establish an attacking rhythm.
Any move would nevertheless represent a significant financial decision. Tottenham spent more than £400 million during the summer, meaning another nine-figure outlay in January would bring considerable pressure on the club and its recruitment department.
Forest may also prove unwilling to negotiate over a player who remains under contract and central to their plans. Gibbs-White has already shown his influence against Tottenham, scoring in Forest’s 3-0 victory in north London last March.
Tottenham’s interest is clear, but securing Gibbs-White would require a far greater commitment than the failed £60 million pursuit of 2025.
