Michael Bridge talks about what Morgan Gibbs-White thinks about Spurs
Appearing on the Spurs podcast The Last Word, renowned Sky Sports News journalist Michael Bridge gave Tottenham fans a very reassuring update on the player’s personal stance.
Bridge revealed he had spoken directly to the Nottingham Forest talisman, indicating the midfielder is very open to the lure of a move to the capital.
“I spoke to Morgan Gibbs-White and he speaks very, very highly of Spurs,” Bridge said.
The revelations will be a huge boost for Tottenham’s board and executives, who are under huge pressure to sign a strong player early in the transfer window.
Spurs came incredibly close to signing the 26-year-old 12 months ago, but a deal fell through. The club is desperate to avoid repeating past transfer mistakes.
Gibbs-White’s praise could pave the way for a sensational turn after an impressive 2025/26 season in which he scored 15 goals in the Premier League.
