Manchester City are considered frontrunners in the pursuit of England international Morgan Gibbs-White this summer.
The Nottingham Forest midfielder has earned major plaudits this season as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side bid to secure an unlikely qualification to the Champions League.
New director of football Hugo Viana is set to reshape City’s squad over the coming months, with central midfield a key area to strengthen after the club opted against offering Kevin De Bruyne a new contract.
Liverpool and Manchester United have been credited with interest in Gibbs-White but Mail Sport understands City will lead the race once the campaign is over.
