Tottenham lead Morgan Gibbs-White race as new details emerge - 'He's an Ange player'
Tottenham are in pole position to sign Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that scouts have been watching the 24-year-old closely for two years.
It is believed Spurs' talent-spotters have been very impressed with Gibbs-White's performances for struggling Forest.
The attacking midfielder has been identified as a fit for Tottenham's playing style and is versatile enough to play in multiple positions.
Sources have told Football Insider that scouts feel Gibbs-White is an "Ange Postecoglou player".

Tottenham in pole position to land Gibbs-White - 'he's a Postecoglou player'
As revealed by Football Insider last week (22 March), Nottingham Forest could be forced to sell their five best players this summer if they are relegated or forced to sanction sales due to FFP demands.
Gibbs-White has impressed in the 2023-24 campaign despite Forest's lowly league position, notching four goals and five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.
He joined the Midlands club from Wolves for a reported fee of £42.5million including add-ons in 2022, signing a contract running until June 2027.
The Stafford-born ace has amassed 18 caps for England's Under-21 side but is yet to receive his first senior call-up.
Tottenham sit fifth in the Premier League table and are well-placed to return to the Champions League next term.
Meanwhile, Forest sit inside the bottom three following their devastating four-point deduction for breaching Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
