Manchester City Are Among The Clubs Eager To Sign This Nottingham Forest Playmaker: Good Signing For Pep? | OneFootball

Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, journalist Pete O’Rourke revealed that Manchester City are among the clubs eager to sign Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White. O’Rourke said,

“Yeah, it’s gonna be an interesting one with regards to Morgan Gibbs-White’s long term future.

“There’s always going to be interest in a player like Gibbs-White. Although Forrest won’t want to lose him, I’m sure they’ll probably will be expecting interest in him.

“There’s obviously talk that Tottenham could rekindle their interest, Manchester City have been long-term admirers of the player as well.

“I think Morgan Gibbs-White, he’s going to have no shortage of interest if he wants to leave Nottingham Forest as well, but it’ll take a big money deal to get him out.

“Whether or not Forest are relegated, you’re probably looking around the £60-70m mark for any club interested in Gibbs-White, and there will be a number of Premier League clubs who will be interested in the former Wolves man.”

Gibbs-White’s Impressive Form In English Football

Gibbs-White has put in a series of impressive displays for the Midlands club in the Premier League this season. The English talent has registered seven goals and picked up four assists in 35 matches for Nottingham in this campaign so far across various competitions.

The 26-year-old’s current deal at the City Ground will expire in the summer of 2028. Therefore, it won’t be easy for Man City to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Will Gibbs-White Be A Good Signing For Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola?

Gibbs-White can strike the ball with venom from long range and has got the vision to play some killer passes in and around the opponent’s penalty area. He is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can contribute by scoring and creating a few important goals for his side.

The English sensation is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also function as a box-to-box midfielder or as a right-winger if needed. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the Mancunian club.

Gibbs-White will bring more quality and depth to Man City head coach Pep Guardiola’s attack. He has what it takes to compete for regular first-team football at the Etihad Stadium.

At 26, Gibbs-White has his best years ahead of him and would be a decent signing for Man City to pull off this summer.
