Arsenal has reportedly identified Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White as a potential alternative to Morgan Rogers, according to The Sun. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his squad with an attacking midfielder who can significantly contribute in the final third and around the opposition's penalty area. While the Aston Villa midfielder remains the primary target for the North London club, a move for the Forest playmaker is also highly probable. Gibbs-White has enjoyed an excellent season, netting 15 goals across all competitions and providing 7 assists, with his strong performances being crucial to his club retaining its Premier League status.
A potential transfer for Gibbs-White to Arsenal would be no easy feat, as he is currently valued at €70 million. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is known as a tough negotiator. Last year, Tottenham came close to signing the player, but the Greek owner ultimately convinced him to stay, securing a new long-term contract. Paris Saint-Germain has also shown interest in Morgan Gibbs-White, though the Parisian club is currently focused on other targets.
