Tottenham Hotspur, which officially announced the signing of Mohammed Kudus (25), is expected to quickly announce additional signing news. In just one day, they spent a staggering £115 million (approximately 214.3 billion won).

The British 'BBC' reported on the 11th (Korea time) that "Tottenham has triggered the buyout clause of Morgan Gibbs-White (25, Nottingham Forest) and is soon set to undergo a medical test." The transfer fee is £60 million (approximately 111.9 billion won), and the medical is expected to be completed as early as the 11th local time.

According to the BBC, Manchester City also showed interest in Gibbs-White at one point but has since withdrawn. Ultimately, Tottenham seized the 'crucial timing' to finalize the negotiations, which is not unrelated to the plans of Thomas Frank, who took over last month. Starting with Kudus, players like Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, who previously worked with Frank at Brentford, are also on Tottenham's scouting list.

Gibbs-White is a linking midfielder who excels in box penetration and is categorized as a 'middle-liker.' He enjoys aggressive breakthroughs with direct dribbling, speed, and balance to withstand pressure, excelling in quick transitions and counterattacks. He is skilled in quick passing and one-touch play but difficult to classify as a traditional playmaker. His creativity, game management ability, and finishing skills remain questionable.

The BBC stated, "Gibbs-White recorded 7 goals and 8 assists in 34 Premier League matches last season, playing a key role for Nottingham. He drew interest from several top clubs in England but ultimately ended up at Tottenham," adding, "Another key player is set to leave Nottingham following Anthony Elanga's move to Newcastle."

It continued, "Tottenham acquired Kudus for £55 million (approximately 102.5 billion won) and paid £60 million for Gibbs-White. In just one day, they have spent £115 million, representing a departure from chairman Daniel Levy's usual conservative transfer strategy."

Sammy Mokbell of the BBC commented, "This transfer, which favored Premier League-validated assets, symbolizes Tottenham's new transfer policy."

Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also noted on the same day through personal social media, "Tottenham has conducted direct negotiations with Nottingham and triggered the buyout. A medical test is scheduled within the next 24 hours, with only the official announcement remaining," and predicted that the signings will be finalized in sequence with his trademark phrase 'Here we go!' saying, "Kudus + Gibbs-White IN 24H!"
