Arsenal Eyeing Nottingham Forest’s Gibbs-White in £50m Deal
Arsenal could look to take advantage of Nottingham Forest’s financial struggles by pursuing a summer transfer for midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. Forest recently received a four-point deduction for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules, putting pressure on the club to raise funds before June 30 to avoid further penalties.
Despite Forest’s financial woes, Gibbs-White has been a standout performer for the team, tallying three goals and five assists in 28 Premier League appearances this season. Arsenal is reportedly monitoring his availability with interest, though any potential move would likely depend on player departures from the Gunners’ squad.
Forest is expected to take a tough stance on the sale of their star players, including Gibbs-White, demanding over £50 million for the 24-year-old midfielder. The club is determined to make a profit on the £42.5 million they spent on Gibbs-White just two years ago, showcasing their willingness to negotiate from a position of strength.
Gibbs-White could be a valuable addition to Mikel Arteta’s midfield, offering versatility and a homegrown presence in the squad. With Emile Smith Rowe potentially on the transfer market, Arsenal may have an opportunity to secure Gibbs-White’s services as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
