Gibbs-White outlines his stance on leaving Nottingham Forest

Morgan Gibbs-White is open to leaving Nottingham Forest amid renewed interest from Tottenham Hotspur, but his desire to participate in the UEFA Champions League is a key factor in his future.

Tottenham attempted to sign the player in the summer of 2025, having activated a release clause worth £60 million in his contract, before he continued with Forest and signed a new three-year deal.

Morgan Gibbs-White, 26, has been outstanding in 2026, scoring more goals than any other midfielder in the top five European leagues. Football Insider has reported that Tottenham's new offer could reach £125 million.

TEAMtalk has reported that the player is studying the possibility of leaving at the end of the season, but he is prepared to stay if Nottingham Forest succeeds in qualifying for a European competition. Tottenham, for their part, also needs to qualify for the UEFA Champions League to enhance their chances of completing the deal.

Tottenham currently sit at the bottom of the table after five matches without a win, while Nottingham Forest are in 13th place with 5 points. This makes the future of Gibbs-White closely tied to the trajectory of both teams this season.
