Tottenham Hotspur prepares to sign Nottingham Forest captain White with club record transfer fee

After the transfer window began calmly, some Tottenham fans began to feel a little uneasy. After winning the Europa League, the club's first trophy in 17 years, club manager Angel Postkoglu was fired and replaced by Thomas Frank - a decision not accepted by all Tottenham fans. However, this week, suddenly Tottenham's transfer window became active and the North London side sent a strong signal. They confirmed signing striker Mohamed Kudus from West Ham United for €63.8 million on Thursday, and now on Friday, they triggered a termination clause for Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White.

The offensive midfielder will transfer to Tottenham for about 70 million euros, becoming the club's highest transfer fee at all time. That would surpass the €64.5 million that Tottenham paid last summer for striker Dominic Solank. It was a roller coaster end of work for Tottenham fans. By introducing Gibbs White, they brought in a truly capable player. However, as many other top stars in Tottenham also perform well in the middle area, how will the England international fit in? What changes will he bring to Frank's team?

Where will Morgan Gibbs-White be placed at Tottenham?

Gibbs White was not only a prominent performer for Forest last season, but also a great performance throughout the Premier League. Not only did he score seven goals and ten assists in the midfield position, his energy and ball-handling quality have driven the Forest’s best Premier League season since 1995. He perfectly embodies all the strengths of Nuno Espiritu Santo's team. Tottenham hopes to have a similar performance in the midfield next season, but his arrival may disrupt their starting lineup.

Last season, when healthy, Deyan Kulusevski was undoubtedly the best player for Tottenham, and his best performance came from the core position of the midfield at the No. 10 position. And Gibbs White himself may want to play in this position. Tottenham also has James Madison, who, although last season was disappointing, was the most creative when directing the offense from the attacking midfielder. New aid Kudus certainly has the ability to play with wide-shot wingers, but he also performed very well in the midfield. So, how does Tottenham arrange all these players?

Transfermarkt's Matthew Hauser, also a Tottenham Hotspur supporter, revealed how he thinks Spurs might be lined up next season, with Gibbs White: "The versatility of Gibbs White is a typical feature of Tottenham's recent signings. He is competent for the midfield and No. 10, and I think under Frank, he will be used at the same time. Kulusevsky may be asking some questions right now. We have two big draws in a few days, and in fact, it's the two biggest signings in our club's history, and both of them play in two positions. "

Tottenham Hotspur will spend more than 130 million euros for Kudus and Gibbs White in just two days. Therefore, it is realistic to think that there may be some spending this summer, and if a suitable offer is received, Kulusevsky or Madison may be the ones to leave the team. Regardless, this transfer window will look to be one of Tottenham's most exciting in recent years. In Gibbs White, they signed a talent that has been proven in the Premier League, who may reactivate Spurs' midfield.
