Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur open new warfront in the race for £30 million star

Now, the North London club must look to shift their focus elsewhere if they cannot land the Nottingham Forest star. The Lilywhites have already identified other alternatives, but Daniel Levy would need to act quick if he wants to sign a player and not risk the possibility of losing out on other options.

Tottenham might miss out on Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey

Tottenham are finding life tough as they look to find loopholes and land Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White in the summer. The Lilywhites have other options lined up; in case Daniel Levy fails to agree a deal for the 25-year-old. With the new season approaching quickly, Spurs do not have time to waste as they look to kickstart a new era at N17.

It was reported earlier that Tottenham were interested in signing Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey in the summer. The 24-year-old is unhappy at Villa Park, and has fallen down the pecking order under Unai Emery. The aforementioned report also stated that the Lilywhites have spoken to the player’s agents in the hopes of striking a deal to land the versatile attacker.

However, there is a new twist in the transfer saga involving the Englishman. As per The Telegraph, Nottingham Forest have entered the race for Ramsey’s signature, and have made the 24-year-old their ‘number one’ target for next season. The report also states that Forest are willing to offer the Villa star regular game time and a chance to play week in week out in the Premier League.

This might be a blessing in disguise for Tottenham though. If Nottingham Forest are aiming to land Jacob Ramsey in the summer, that only indicates that Morgan Gibbs-White’s transfer to N17 is imminent. The Lilywhites have nothing to lose in this scenario, as Forest will not be looking to have both players in their ranks for next season due to their similar game-style.
