Tottenham attempting to seal stunning £115m double swoop to boost Thomas Frank

Tottenham are in advanced talks with Nottingham Forest to try to bring midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White to the club in a £60million deal, football.london understands.

Spurs are about to seal a £55million move for West Ham attacker Mohammed Kudus to boost Thomas Frank's squad and are now looking to tie up a deal for long-time target Gibbs-White after launching into talks with Forest. The 25-year-old England international has got two years left on his contract and Forest are trying to tie him down to a new contract.

However, Tottenham want to bring the former Wolves man, who was linked with Manchester City earlier in the summer, to north London with the lure of Champions League football if they can agree a deal with Forest. There are suggestions that Gibbs-White's contract contains a release clause of £60million.

football.london have previously reported that once the deal for Kudus was done then Spurs were looking to bring in a central midfielder. Gibbs-White can play in the centre of the pitch as well as a No.10 in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which Frank favours. In a big season for Forest under former Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo he was one of the standout players, captaining the side on numerous occasions and weighing in with seven goals and 10 assists in 34 Premier League matches.

Forest agreed a £55million deal to seal Anthony Elanga to Newcastle this week and Tottenham would need to convince the Nottingham side to part with another key player with a big bid.

Spurs also tied up a £5million deal this week for Japan international centre-back Kota Takai from Kawasaki Frontale and further moves for Kudus and Gibbs-White would give Frank's squad a major triple boost for a season in which the club wants to compete on all fronts.
