Morgan Gibbs-White targeted by Arsenal in £70m transfer move

Morgan Gibbs-White is being lined up by Arsenal as a potential transfer target, with the Gunners looking to add creativity to their attacking ranks. The 26-year-old midfielder has been identified as an alternative to Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers.

Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad, and Morgan Gibbs-White has emerged as a target, with the Gunners valuing him at around £70m.

The versatile midfielder has had an impressive season, notching 18 goals and seven assists across all competitions, and playing a crucial role in keeping Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Morgan Gibbs-White's future is uncertain, with Arsenal and other top clubs interested in signing him, and a potential transfer move could have a significant impact on his career.

He came close to joining Tottenham last summer, but the transfer dramatically collapsed, and he has since signed a new deal with Forest, which runs until 2028.

The future of Elliot Anderson, another Forest star, could have ramifications for Arsenal's pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White, with Manchester City pushing hard to sign Anderson, and Forest not willing to lose both players this summer.

Graeme Bailey, a transfer insider, revealed that Forest are confident Morgan Gibbs-White will not actively push for an exit this summer, and the club fully expect him to lead the team into next season, regardless of Anderson's likely departure.

Morgan Gibbs-White remains central to Forest's plans, and the club view him as a key figure within the dressing room and leadership structure, and maintaining stability around him will become even more important if Anderson departs.
