Arsenal Join Manchester City in £100M Race for Morgan Gibbs-White

Arsenal have entered the race to sign Nottingham Forest’s star attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, joining Premier League rivals Manchester City in a transfer battle that could reach £100M, according to Football Insider. The 25-year-old Englishman, who transferred to Forest for a club-record £25M in 2022 after a standout loan at Sheffield United, has caught the eye of both clubs with his versatility and creativity in midfield.

Gibbs-White’s valuation reflects the soaring Premier League market for homegrown talent, a trend highlighted by Jack Grealish’s £100M move to Manchester City in 2021. Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, are looking to bolster their squad with dynamic, English players, especially as a potential deputy for Martin Odegaard, though fans on X have questioned the hefty price tag. Manchester City, meanwhile, see Gibbs-White as a key addition to maintain their squad depth under Pep Guardiola, especially after being linked with the player earlier this year by the Daily Mail.

Nottingham Forest are holding firm, demanding £100M for their prized asset. As the 2025 transfer window heats up, this saga promises to be a defining moment in the Premier League’s summer market.
