Nottingham Forest face a very real danger of losing Morgan Gibbs-White amid interest from several high-profile clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with the 26-year-old playmaker, but Evangelos Marinakis fended off interest two summers ago.

Since then, he has gone from strength to strength at the City Ground, and currently boasts the most Premier League goals in the 2026 calendar year.

Supporters were gobsmacked when Thomas Tuchel left him out of the England squad yet again, only for him to replace Cole Palmer in this international break.

Another snub from international duty has certainly raised alarm bells that Gibbs-White could seek an exit, and multiple clubs are keeping watch.

Bayern Munich is said to be extremely keen on the attacker's signature, while Arsenal and Manchester United are also keeping tabs.

Morgan Gibbs-White could push for Nottingham Forest exit

Of course, Roberto De Zerbi would love to add his services to the squad, but it is become increasingly obvious that Spurs won't be his destination.

Football Insider understands that Gibbs-White is weighing up his options ahead of next summer, with the hope of playing Champions League football in 2027-28.

While the player is open to staying at the City Ground should the Reds acquire European football, a move elsewhere is becoming increasingly likely.

And with Gibbs-White finally being called up to the Three Lions, this will give him the perfect opportunity to discuss his future with Harry Kane.

The former Tottenham striker has loved life since leaving North London, breaking several records with the Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich.

If there is anyone that Forest's No.10 will listen to, it will be the England captain.

Harry Kane could play key role in Bayern Munich transfer

Bayern's interest in the player is well-known, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the 26-year-old swap life in England for the Allianz Arena.

In 2024, Gibbs-White spoke about Kane as a "massive role model" and an "inspiration for all young players," and he could be his teammate at club level.

The Forest star absolutely deserves a chance to prove himself in the Champions League, and the last time Bayern failed to qualify for the competition was 1993.

Tottenham and Man United simply can't promise regular European football, and Arsenal signed Eberechi Eze over Gibbs-White in 2025.

All signs are currently pointing towards a move to Germany, and it would be no less than the England international deserves right now.
