Tottenham Hotspur was preparing to welcome Morgan Gibbs White into Thomas Frank’s early stage project. Daniel Levy oversaw a £60 million approach for Nottingham Forest Playmakers.
However, he later wrote a new contract at City Grounds. There is a tricky tree that claims that the Spurs took an illegal approach to the three Lions stars.
He is now signing a new deal on City Grounds. It’s a bitter medicine to swallow after Guru Fabrizio Romano moves the catch line “go here.”
But the Spurs now need to move forward, Frank is evaluating his options, and the sights are still set in the new midfield playmaker.
Spurs lined up Gibbs White alternatives
Gibbs White was perfect for the Tottenham project. The recent streak of preseason draws has shown the need for more sparks in the middle, something Frank currently places importance on, already signing West Ham United’s Mohamed Kudus at a rate of £55 million.
Romano confirmed that Lily White is already working on alternatives while the Gibbs and White deal was dead. “They are working on that (alternative targets for Gibbs White.
Well, internal debate has begun about Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott’s potential signature, according to reporter Graeme Bailey.
Elliott, 22, could move Champions League competitors just like Tottenham, and he’s worth £50 million for a cheaper price than Gibbs White.
Why Spurs Should Sign Harvey Elliott
In 2019 he joined Liverpool from Fulham on a compensation fee of around £4 million for the 16-year-old only, and later Elliott established himself as a fixed part of the wider Reds team, earning 35 goal contributions on 147 times.
Former Liverpool U18S head coach Neil Critchley said in the past the England U21 superstar was able to produce “some real magic bits” on the ball, and his ability to shift the right flank and mid-offensive field even suggests he could bring Dejan Crucebski’s shade to Frank’s first team.
Kulusevski, 25, played a key role in the days of Ange Postecoglou, becoming himself the action central midfielder last season and previously played on the right.
He is now injured, but has not disputed how important he is to this Tottenham team. Sofa Scole scored seven goals in the Premier League last year, providing four assists, averaging 2.1 key passes and 4.1 successful duels per 4.1 games.
Elliott lacks Sweden’s international integrity, but he is a true wizard in his field of expertise and certainly adds the dimension of ballplay targeted through the acquisition of Gibbs White.

*Eliot spent most of his 20/21 campaign on loan with Blackburn Rovers in the Championship, earning seven goals and 11 assists in 42 games.
The Tottenham guy has a full throttle engine about him, but Elliott’s technical skills are at his best, but the ability to score goals and create opportunities provides the shade of Crucevsky.
According to FBREF, the Liverpool man ranked in the top 2% of midfielders and wingers attacking across Europe’s top five leagues last season, along with all goals, all assists, attempts and progressive passes, as well as the top 15% of goal-creating actions per 90.
Given the dimensions added to Tottenham, Frank must make these internal discussions and promote a formal approach to Liverpool’s talented outlook.
He will not only become a replacement for Gibbswhite in his dreams, but will also bring Crucevsky’s sense of talent to his ally.
