He signed a new contract in 2025 until 2028, meaning Forest will have a stronger hand than in previous transfer windows.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Morgan_Gibbs-White_is_in_incredible_form\"><\/span>Morgan Gibbs-White is in incredible form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gibbs-White&#8217;s value to Forest is clear. He is not only a talented attacking midfielder, but also a player who gives character to their attack.<\/p>\n<p>He can carry the ball, create chances, press hard and create the big moments the team needs.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham continue to keep an eye on him.<\/p>\n<p>The England international scored in Nottingham Forest&#8217;s 3-2 defeat against Man United at Old Trafford on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>It was a beautiful finish that must have impressed Man United&#8217;s recruiting team.<\/p>\n<p>This interest is understandable as United are looking at ways to revamp their midfield and attacking options.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_United_have_long-term_interest_in_midfielder\"><\/span>Manchester United have long-term interest in midfielder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even with Bruno Fernandes&#8217; long-term future uncertain, Gibbs-White would be the type of Premier League-proven creator who can immediately add energy and invention.<\/p>\n<p>I can understand Tottenham&#8217;s interest. This is especially true given Tottenham&#8217;s strong lobbying efforts for Tottenham in the past, before Forrest signed a new contract.<\/p>\n<p>Sky Sports reported last summer that Gibbs-White had rejected Spurs and agreed a club-record deal with Forest, in what appeared to be a major statement from the club.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Guardian&#8217;s match report, Gibbs-White has scored 14 goals this season.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers are impressive for an attacking midfielder playing on a struggling team. Although Forest finished avoiding relegation rather than chasing Europe, Gibbs-White still managed to stand out.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s usually what separates the good players from the important players. When everything was going well, he wasn&#8217;t just performing. He was producing on a team that had to compete.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Source: Man United ready to offer player plus \u20ac50m in cash in swap deal for wing wizard<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nottingham Forest are increasingly confident they can keep Morgan Gibbs-White at the City Ground this summer, despite long-standing interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.According to TEAMtalk, Forest believe their captain is likely to stay, even though several big clubs continue to monitor his situation.
