Journalist suggests ‘talented’ £42.5m player is more likely to sign for Newcastle than Tottenham

Newcastle United are under pressure due to PSR, but it is also a situation that they could benefit from.

While the Magpies reportedly need to sell someone before June 30th to appease the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, they are not the only club that is under pressure.

Nottingham Forest are also feeling the heat, having already suffered a points deduction last season for breaching PSR. Luckily for them, it did not lead to them being relegated.

But it does look like it will result in them needing to sell, which could be bad news for their hopes of keeping Morgan Gibbs-White.

Newcastle United interested in Morgan Gibbs-White

The 24-year-old is Forest’s most saleable asset, and is a player who would fit in brilliantly at St James’ Park. Gibbs-White is extremely versatile, young enough to keep improving and experienced enough that he is already a leader.

A player who has been called ‘talented‘ by Alan Shearer, the £42.5million man ticks a lot of boxes for Newcastle, which is why the Magpies are interested in signing him this summer.

Journalist Graeme Bailey recently told Geordie Boot Boys that he thinks Gibbs-White would be a great addition to Eddie Howe’s squad, and he is certainly a player who Toon fans would love to see arrive should Forest be forced to sell.
