TOTTENHAM are in talks over a £60million move for Morgan Gibbs-White, it’s been claimed.
New Spurs chief Thomas Frank is wasting no time building the team in his own image, agreeing a £55million deal for West Ham‘s Mohammed Kudus earlier this week.

Attacking reinforcements are at the forefront of the Dane’s mind.
And he’s reportedly keen to bolster his squad with the acquisition of Nottingham Forest and England ace Gibbs-White.
That’s according to The Athletic, who claim Gibbs-White is “high” up on Spurs and several other clubs’ summer wishlists.
Spurs are said to be hopeful of convincing him to swap the east Midlands for north London if they can reach an agreement with Forest.
And the BBC claim the two clubs are locked in rapidly “accelerating” talks over a £60m deal for the 25-year-old.
Gibbs-White was one of Forest’s star performers last season, scoring seven goals and bagging ten assists to help the club to a seventh-placed finish.
Forest’s impressive finish saw them qualify for next season’s Conference League.
But the prospect of playing Champions League football could potentially sway Gibbs-White to move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Gibbs-White’s displays over the last two seasons are said to have impressed new Spurs boss Frank, who has yet to make any official additions to his first team.
Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou as the north Londoners’ new manager last month.
And he’s vowed to build on the work of his Aussie predecessor, who won the Europa League in his swansong.
Frank said: “I think Ange has done something special. He’ll forever be a legend in Tottenham.
“It’s important to understand we all stand on the shoulders of others.
“I’m going in on the foundation Ange built, and his coaching staff, and I’m very humble about that.
“I’ll do my very best to continue the great work he put in.
“The feeling, the excitement, the joy and the happiness in the fans’ faces, the pictures were ‘wow’.
“Hopefully, we can create more of those moments. That will be the ultimate dream: to do that and build on that.”
