Tottenham comes after their third signing of the summer with Nottingham Forest game maker Morgan Gibbs-White, who was admired by Manchester United, who arrives in a £ 60 million deal,
Tottenham will soon seal a coup about Manchester United and Ruben Amorim, after their earlier setbacks with Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils still want the Brentford striker, which prefers Manchester above North London, but Morgan Gibbs-White and West Ham's Mohammed Kudus from Nottingham Forest.
The victors of the Europa League have started their summer expenditure, signed the Japanese prospect Kota Takai alone before this week and closed a £ 55 million deal for the kudus of the Hammers on Thursday evening.
Spurs are also approaching a deal for Gibbs-White after meeting the £ 60 million buy-out costs of the Forest game maker, and he is ready for a medical in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday, with his arrival.
Head coach Amorim of Red Devils has been given a double blow in the light of these movements, because he has shown admiration for both players in the past. Spurs took revenge after their efforts to sign Mbeumo, were rejected, with the Cameroonian expressing his preference for United.
Earlier in the year, United's interest in Gibbs-White was exposed by former chief Explorer Mick Brown, who unveiled Amorim's admiration for him and spoke with Football Insider.
“United has watched Morgan Gibbs-White. He is a player who is very mobile, works very hard and has this kind of dynamic in his game,” he revealed.
“That is something that Ruben Amorim likes in the system that he wants to play. I told that Amorim is a big fan of Gibbs-White of what he has seen.
“He has spoken about Mason Mount, who was injured, but is not too uneven about Gibbs-White in terms of the role they would play. I think that is a movement that will be interested if they can seduce him to leave forest.
“Whether they can do it, because of their financial situation, is unclear. Nottingham Forest will not let Gibbs-White go cheaply. It will be a huge compensation to seduce them to sell.”
The Guardian also reported last week that Kudus was on Amorim's list of potential attacking summer recruits, but apparently the Ghanaian chose Tottenham.
While the initial intrigues of United in Gibbs-White and Kudus decreased when they strived for other offensive reinforcements, the club successfully conquered Wolven Cunha for an elevated £ 62.5 million and are still in negotiations about Mbeumo, whose price tag the expression reports.
There are murmur that Brentford may have underestimated the value of Mbeumo, especially after Forest has accepted a no less than £ 55 million bid for Anthony Elanga and with Noni Madueke van Chelsea who goes more than £ 50 million to the Arsenal.
According to the Evening Standard, after a 20 goals in last season's Premier League, Brentford believes that their £ 63 million appreciation of Mbeumo might be on the low side. This causes potential problems for United, which are enthusiastic for a team revision but must stay within PSR parameters.
