Morgan Gibbs-White Sends Nottingham Forest Transfer Signal as England Squad Announcement Sparks Speculation
Morgan Gibbs-White, Nottingham Forest’s standout midfielder, has received a fresh call-up to Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for upcoming international fixtures, fueling transfer talk amid his rising profile. The 25-year-old faces a busy June, with England scheduled to play a World Cup qualifier against Andorra in Barcelona on June 7, followed by a home friendly versus Senegal at Forest’s City Ground on June 10—an opportunity for Gibbs-White to shine in front of his home fans.
This marks Gibbs-White’s second call-up under Tuchel, who previously included him in his squad earlier this year, although the midfielder didn’t feature in any matches then. His initial senior England debut came under interim boss Lee Carsley. Recent reports indicated that Tuchel expects players to be regularly performing at top levels to maintain national team consideration, sparking speculation that a club move might boost Gibbs-White’s chances of securing the coveted No.10 role ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Despite growing interest from clubs such as Manchester City, Nottingham Forest remain determined to keep hold of their star asset. The Reds are not under immediate pressure to sell, though the summer transfer window could bring developments. Fans are optimistic that Gibbs-White’s new England call-up proves he can achieve international success without needing to leave Forest.
Interestingly, the squad excludes Manchester City’s Phil Foden, who has struggled with form and mental health issues this season. Foden will miss the camp as he works on his recovery and preparation for next season.
England’s team will gather in early June, travel to Spain for their qualifier against Andorra, and then return to the Midlands for the sold-out friendly against Senegal at the City Ground, setting the stage for what could be a memorable month for Gibbs-White and Forest supporters alike.
