Everybody knows they wanted him a couple of seasons ago, it’s not a surprise that their interest is still there, so if he’s available, Tottenham will be right there.“Roberto De Zerbi wants to add another attacking midfielder to his side, especially if Maddison can’t stay fit and even then, Gibbs-White would be seen as an improvement. They’ve been watching him closely for a long time, so they know all about him and feel he would be the ideal fit for the way they want to play.“So I’m told they could certainly be an option for him, and if it looks like he will be leaving Nottingham Forest next year, Tottenham will certainly be making moves to sign him.”READ MORE: Tottenham could attempt £67m double raid of Club Brugge in JanuaryThe post ‘Tottenham will be first in line’ – Insider reveals what he has heard about Morgan Gibbs-White appeared first on Spurs Web.
