Tim Sherwood said he could see Morgan Gibbs-White playing for Tottenham Hotspur next year if Nottingham Forest are relegated this season.
Spurs beat the Reds 2-0 last night in convincing fashion, with goals from Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski giving Ange Postecglou’s charges the win and they seem to be back on track. Gibbs-White and his Nottingham Forest teammates couldn’t do much to stop them.
Nottingham Forest signed Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves last season in a deal worth a staggering £42.5 million (Sky Sports).
At the time, many eyebrows were raised about the price. Many didn’t believe the 23-year-old was worth that kind of money, but he has been excellent for the Reds.
Gibbs-White made 37 appearances in the Premier League last season and helped Forest stay in the Premier League. He finished the season with five goals and eight assists, played in several positions and was really good.
The versatile Reds star has played every game for Forest this season and is probably their best player, along with Taiwo Awoniyi.
Speaking about Gibbs-White just before the game, Tim Sherwood said that he could actually see the 23-year-old playing for Tottenham next year if Nottingham Forest are relegated.
He said on the Premier League Productions show, “If there is a player in the Forest team who can play for Tottenham, I believe Morgan Gibbs-White can play for Tottenham.
“I can see him playing from next year if Forest play in the Championship, which I don’t think they will.”
Morgan Gibbs-White is a great footballer.
He has been fantastic under Steve Cooper since the start of last season and is one of the first names on the scoresheet in every game.
Gibbs-White is a very exciting player because of his quality on the ball, his work rate and his potential. His versatility is another important quality and the fact that he is only 23 years old means that he will only get better.
Tottenham were linked with a Gibbs-White transfer in the summer but it didn’t materialise. If Forest are relegated this season, there is a good chance Spurs will sign him. James Maddison already seems to be a big fan of his.
