Tottenham and Newcastle United will have to pay upwards of £50million if they want to sign Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Forest will demand a fee that tops the £48million paid by Spurs for Brennan Johnson.
As revealed by Football Insider, Forest could be forced to sell their five best players this summer regardless of relegation due to FFP demands.
Gibbs-White is included in the list of players who could be sacrificed by Forest this summer with the 24-year-old seen as one of the club’s most valuable assets.
Tottenham hoped they could get Gibbs-White for less than Johnson, but his club will hold out for a bigger price and bumper profit on what they paid to Wolves
Forest were deducted four points earlier this month after being charged with a breach of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Football Insider revealed that Tottenham are currently in pole position to sign Gibbs-White this summer after scouting him for the past two years.
O’Rourke told Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast: “It won’t just be Tottenham who will be interested in Morgan Gibbs-White if he is on the market this summer – Newcastle will also be interested.
“It will be a similar sort of price tag to the £50million paid for Brennan Johnson and possibly slightly more as well.“
