Transfer battle brewing as Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea chase 15-goal creative star

9 June 2026 at 17:30

Morgan Gibbs-White continues to be linked with a move away from Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window.

According to Sports Boom, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the player closely, and they could look to make a move in the coming weeks.

Gibbs-White has been outstanding for the Premier League club this season, scoring 15 goals and picking up four assists. He has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the country, and the opportunity to join clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham or Arsenal will be exciting for him.

Chelsea and Manchester United have been overly dependent on Enzo Fernandez and Bruno Fernandes for goals and creativity from the midfield. They need more depth in that area of the pitch, and signing the Nottingham Forest star could be ideal. He will help create opportunities for his teammates, and he can find the back of the net regularly as well.

Tottenham tried to sign the player last summer, but the move did not work out. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Nottingham Forest to sell the player this time. They need more goals and creativity from the middle of the park.

As per Arsenal, Martin Odegaard has not been at his best over the last 12 months, and Eberechi Eze has been quite mediocre as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to bring in the Nottingham Forest star to add more cutting-edge in the final third.

Gibbs-White will feel that he has outgrown Nottingham Forest, and this is the right time for him to join an elite club. Arsenal could provide him with the platform to fight for league titles and the UEFA Champions League.

8 June 2026 at 10:58

Arsenal’s search for extra attacking quality could lead them towards Morgan Gibbs-White, but the Gunners may not get a free run at the Nottingham Forest captain.

According to The Sun, Paris Saint-Germain are also tracking the England midfielder, who has become one of the Premier League’s most productive attacking players.

Gibbs-White is seen as a possible Arsenal alternative if a move for Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers proves too difficult.

From an Arsenal point of view, the interest makes sense. Mikel Arteta’s side have been looking for players who can add more creativity, goals and flexibility in the final third.

Gibbs-White is not a traditional winger or a pure No.10, he is more of a roaming attacking midfielder who can drift into pockets, carry the ball, press aggressively and create chances.

Morgan Gibbs-White impressed for Nottingham Forest

His numbers explain why bigger clubs are paying attention.

Gibbs-White scored 18 goals in all competitions last season, including 15 in the Premier League, while playing a key role for Nottingham Forest.

That is serious output for a player who is not operating as a centre-forward.

For Arsenal, he could be useful in several ways. He could rotate with Martin Ødegaard, play as a left-sided attacking midfielder, or offer a different type of threat against deep defensive blocks.

Arteta already has plenty of technical players, but Gibbs-White brings more directness and personality.

Arsenal need a player like the English midfielder

He plays with an edge, and Arsenal sometimes need that extra chaos in tight games.

The issue is Nottingham Forest’s position. Gibbs-White recently signed a contract extension until 2028, so Forest are under no pressure to sell cheaply.

PSG’s interest only makes things harder, because once a club with their financial power enters the race, the price can rise quickly.

Gibbs-White would be a very smart Arsenal signing, but only if the fee stays realistic.

He is Premier League-proven, creative, experienced, and still at a good age to improve further.
