Tottenham Hotspur have intensified their summer transfer dealings as new manager Thomas Frank plans on a strong rebuild.
Spurs are close to wrapping up a £55m deal for Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.
However, they aren’t done yet, they have stepped up their activity in the market with links to a couple of more attackers.
Recent reports via The Athletic’s David Ornstein suggest that Spurs have turned their focus to Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White.
The English attacking midfielder is reportedly high up Tottenham’s wishlist in this summer window.
While Tottenham are still exploring a move for the 25-year-old, they are confident that they will be able to convince Gibbs-White to make a move to North London.

Spurs feel that the prospect of playing in the Champions League could sway the youngster to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Gibbs-White was one of the standout players for Nottingham Forest, and his performances helped them finish in seventh spot in the Premier League points table.
His stellar performances for Forest in the last couple of seasons have impressed Frank, and he wants to bring him to North London.
Where could Forest’s Gibbs-White end up this summer?
Gibbs-White established himself at Wolves before moving to Nottingham Forest in 2022 for a club record transfer fee of £25m.
The England international hasn’t looked back since joining the East Midlands outfit. In the last three seasons, he has been exceptional for Forest.
In the 2024/25 campaign, he finished with seven goals and eight assists from 38 appearances across all competitions.
Apart from Tottenham, Manchester City and Newcastle United have also shown interest towards the 25-year-old attacking midfielder.
Reportedly, City have agreed personal terms with the England international, and the Cityzens will negotiate with Forest over a potential deal.
With two years left in Gibbs-White’s contract, Forest have slapped a hefty £70m ($95m) asking fee for their standout player.
Gibbs-White could prioritise a move to Tottenham over City as they have recently signed Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders, who feature in a similar role.
