Na big tori for football world as Tottenham Hotspur don dey make serious moves for di 2025 summer transfer window, and di biggest gist na di signing of Nottingham Forest star, Morgan Gibbs-White.
Dis 25-year-old attacking midfielder don become hot cake for Premier League, and Spurs don show say dem no dey play wit dia ambition as dem trigger di £60 million release clause for Gibbs-White contract. Dis move, wey dey “accelerate quickly,” na part of Tottenham plan to build strong squad under dia new gaffer, Thomas Frank. Make we break am down in pidgin, abeg!
Who Be Morgan Gibbs-White?
Morgan Gibbs-White na England international wey don shine well-well for Nottingham Forest since e join dem from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2022 for £25 million (plus add-ons wey later make am reach £42.5 million).
Di guy na proper playmaker, wey sabi create chances and score goals. Last season, e hammer seven goals and drop 10 assists for 34 Premier League matches, helping Forest finish seventh and qualify for Europa Conference League.
E even wear captain armband for Forest and don collect four caps for England senior team, with e most recent appearance for friendly against Senegal under Thomas Tuchel. Gibbs-White na player wey get flair, vision, and Premier League experience, and dat na why top clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea don dey eye am before.
Why Tottenham Want Am?
Tottenham dey under new management with Thomas Frank, wey be longtime admirer of Gibbs-White from e days as Brentford coach.
Frank, wey like attacking football, see Gibbs-White as di perfect fit for e 4-2-3-1 system, where e fit play as number 10 behind di striker. Spurs don already qualify for Champions League after winning Europa League last season, and dem wan build squad wey go compete for top six and even challenge for trophies.
Gibbs-White, with e creativity and work rate, na di kind player wey go add spice to Spurs midfield. E signing go also put pressure on players like James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, as dem go need to step up or risk losing dia place.
Di Big Money Moves
Dis Gibbs-White deal no be small money o! Tottenham don trigger di £60 million release clause, and dem dey set for medical to happen sharp-sharp, maybe even within 24 hours. But dat no be di only big signing Spurs dey chase.
Dem don already agree £55 million deal to bring Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, making am di first major signing of di Thomas Frank era. If you add Gibbs-White and Kudus deals together, Tottenham don spend over £115 million in just 24 hours! Dis kind spending no be like di usual Daniel Levy style, wey dey always hold money tight. Spurs also dey look Brentford attackers Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, showing say dem wan serious attacking firepower.
Wetin Dis Mean for Nottingham Forest?
For Nottingham Forest, losing Gibbs-White na big blow. Dem already dey prepare to lose another star, Anthony Elanga, to Newcastle for £55 million. Gibbs-White, wey be dia talisman and captain, na key player wey help dem reach Europe after 30 years. But with two years left on e contract and di £60 million release clause, Forest no get much choice if Spurs meet di price. Di money dem go make from Gibbs-White and Elanga (over £100 million combined) fit help dem reinvest, but e no go easy to replace players wey get dat kind quality and leadership.
Wetin Fans Dey Expect?
Tottenham fans don dey gingered! Posts on X show say supporters dey excited about di “massive moves” wey Spurs dey make. One user, @DegenArchit3ct, even tweet say, “Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham, here we go!

Wetin Dey Next?
As Gibbs-White dey prepare for medical, Tottenham go dey look to finalize di deal quick so e fit join pre-season training.
Di addition of Gibbs-White and Kudus go give Spurs plenty attacking options, but e also mean say Frank go need balance di squad well. Players like Maddison and Kulusevski go need to fight for dia spot, and di competition fit bring out di best in dem. For Forest, dem go need to find new stars to keep dia European dream alive.
