Nottingham Forest have kicked off the 2024/25 Premier League season with a strong start, securing five points in their first three games under the leadership of Nuno Espirito Santo. Surprisingly, they are currently sitting ahead of powerhouse teams like Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in the table as the season takes a brief pause for international matches.
This positive start is a stark contrast to the nail-biting finishes that fans experienced last season at the City Ground. The team’s performance has been bolstered by the addition of new players during the summer transfer window, but one player who has stood out is Morgan Gibbs-White.
Gibbs-White’s exceptional form has caught the attention of the England national team, where he is vying for his first senior cap. Due to his impressive contributions on the field, the midfielder is now expected to enter contract negotiations with Forest to secure a new, improved deal. This could potentially make him the club’s highest-paid player, surpassing his current salary of £80k-per-week.
Despite interest from other clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Forest is keen on retaining Gibbs-White, given his significant impact with five goals and 10 assists last season. As discussions unfold, Gibbs-White’s potential new salary of over £110k-per-week would solidify his position as a key player for the team.
