He should leave this Club now,I don’t like lazy player that don’t want to improve’: Arteta has told one Arsenal player to find His way out of the club by the summer or He will be treated just as Aubameyang.

Reports from the Daily Star suggest that Arsenal is contemplating a surprising move for Nottingham Forest’s midfielder, Morgan Gibbs-White, in the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite Arsenal’s formidable attacking lineup, manager Mikel Arteta appears eager to reinforce the squad for the forthcoming 2024/25 season. Speculation surrounding the potential departure of Emile Smith Rowe has prompted Arsenal to consider alternatives, with Gibbs-White emerging as a plausible candidate to fill the void.

Nottingham Forest recently incurred a 4-point deduction for breaching Profitability and Sustainability regulations, potentially leading to further financial strain unless they can generate revenue. This predicament could prompt the club to entertain offers for Gibbs-White, their record signing secured for £42.5 million, as a means to alleviate financial pressure.

Gibbs-White has been a valuable asset for Forest since his arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2022, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists this season. Despite his impactful performances, Forest has struggled to capitalize on his creative opportunities due to deficiencies in their attacking department. Arsenal sees Gibbs-White as a potential replacement for Smith Rowe, whose playing time has dwindled due to injuries and a perceived lack of trust from the manager.

Gibbs-White’s versatility and proficiency in various attacking roles make him an attractive prospect for Arsenal. While he primarily operates as an attacking midfielder or on the right wing, his adaptability allows him to fill different positions in the front line. Arteta may envision him as a valuable backup option for key players like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka.

However, the potential challenge lies in whether Gibbs-White would accept a reduced role at Arsenal compared to the opportunity of being a regular starter elsewhere. Nevertheless, if Arsenal can negotiate a deal for Gibbs-White, it could prove to be a savvy acquisition that enhances their squad depth and quality for the upcoming campaign.
