Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Morgan Gibbs-White has not gone away as they look to add further reinforcements to Roberto De Zerbi’s midfield in January.Gibbs-White has been one of the biggest ‘what ifs’ for Tottenham over recent years, with the midfielder further cementing his position as one of the Premier League’s elite midfielders since Spurs’ failed move in the summer of 2025.According to some sources, Spurs explored a move for the Forest midfielder again in the recent summer window, and it appears that their interest has still not gone away.This is according to TEAMtalk, who claimed a couple of weeks ago that the Lilywhites could make another approach for Gibbs-White in January as the midfielder enters the final 18 months of his contract.Photo by Paul Bonser/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesNottingham Forest could offer Tottenham target Morgan Gibbs-White a new contractFootball Insider say that Forest could look to make a decisive move over the coming weeks to ward off interest from Spurs in their star midfielder.The City Ground hierarchy could offer Gibbs-White a new contract to ensure Roberto De Zerbi’s side cannot tempt him away in January.The report concludes that Forest have no intention of parting ways with the England international over the next two transfer windows.The website then posed the question on Gibbs-White’s future to journalist Pete O’Rourke, who said: “Tottenham’s interest still remains in Gibbs-White, but Nottingham Forest are in a strong position.“They have tried to sign him before in the past, so it doesn’t surprise me that they are continuing to keep tabs on him, but I’m sure Forest will do everything they can to keep hold of him long term.”Why Gibbs-White is not what Spurs need in JanuaryJames Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are edging closer to full fitness, and one would expect the England international to be fit to start matches after the international break.Additionally, Xavi Simons could potentially be back at the turn of the year, and De Zerbi has admitted that he is a big fan of Conor Gallagher.The Tottenham boss said about the former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid midfielder: “Even if he doesn’t play every game, I love him. He’s generous, he’s a smart player, he has the right mentality.”The Lilywhites are also well covered for central midfield options after signing Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali in the summer.One would thus expect a left-winger and a central striker to be Tottenham’s priorities in January rather than a number eight/ten.READ MORE: Andy Robertson names ‘five-a-side’ baller who has impressed him most at TottenhamThe post Nottingham Forest set to scare off Tottenham with Morgan Gibbs-White transfer plan appeared first on Spurs Web.
