Tottenham target Morgan Gibbs-White took part in a friendly between Nottingham Forest and Monaco on Saturday.

The England international played 45 minutes against the French giants despite strong interest from Spurs, in what was his first outing of the summer for the Reds after an extended break due to international commitments.

Despite playing in the game, Gibbs-White remains keen on a move to Spurs.

The north Londoners are even said to be thinking about offering Nottingham Forest £5m on top of his £60m release clause to push a deal through, according to the Daily Mail.

Now, Tottenham fans believe the move is edging closer after seeing what Morgan Gibbs-White did during the 0-0 draw against Monaco.

Tottenham fans react to Morgan Gibbs-White gesture

The Nottingham Forest No.10 was filmed by a supporter applauding fans at the interval of the clash against Monaco, and also made a heart gesture in their direction before heading down the tunnel.

Many would take that as a declaration of his love for Nottingham Forest, and potentially a sign that he wants to stay, but Tottenham fans believe quite the opposite.

One wrote “looks like goodbye to me” on X (previously known as Twitter) after seeing the footage.

That aforementioned story from the Daily Mail added that Gibbs-White, who Manchester City looked at, is unwilling to fly with the Reds on their trip to Portugal on Monday, so this interaction could well be the last time he sees these Nottingham Forest fans.

Another Spurs fan was quite confident in saying this gesture means farewell, writing: “Yep he’s gone. Get in, welcome.”

A Tottenham fan also opined that Gibbs-White “knows what he was doing” when addressing these Nottingham Forest supporters, with another adding that he is now “off to join a big club” in a dig at the Reds.

What Nottingham Forest have been doing of late after Tottenham approached Morgan Gibbs-White is telling

Despite the fury of Evangelos Marinakis and the threat of legal action from Nottingham Forest, it does seem as if the Reds are preparing to sell the 25-year-old.

Ben Jacobs claims that Nottingham Forest are trying to buy themselves time to sign a replacement by kicking off over Gibbs-White, with Bilal El Khannouss of Leicester being monitored.

Nottingham Forest also expressed interest in Thiago Almada before Atletico Madrid stole in, who also plays in attacking midfield, so those at the City Ground do seem to be preparing to lose the man born in Stafford.
