Liverpool’s recruitment team are reportedly eyeing the potential transfer of Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.
The 24-year-old has been in great form in the Premier League this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists to help Forest to second in the table.
Gibbs-White looks like he might be ready now make the move to a bigger clubeven if Forest are currently overachieving and possibly look like surprising top four contenders.

It looks like Gibbs-White could get that chance with Liverpool, as the Reds see him as an ideal candidate as they search for an attacking midfielder of that profile, he has explained. Football Insider.
Morgan Gibbs-White’s move to Liverpool could have to wait until the summer
The report suggests Forest are unlikely to sell Gibbs-White midway through the season, although he could find a good offer in the summer too good to turn down.
Liverpool fans will no doubt be keeping an eye on how the England international fares in the Premier League over the coming months, as whether he can maintain his current form is likely to be hard to ignore.
Liverpool already have quality midfielders with similar skills, perhaps most notably Curtis Jones, who has been one of their most improved players this term.
Still, Gibbs-White could also be good enough to come in and command a place, even if LFC could also do well to focus on prioritizing other areas of their squad.
With perhaps a January deal unlikely, we’ll have to see how Arne Slot’s team fares at the end of the season.
If Liverpool end up underperforming in the second half of the campaign, Slot could be more tempted to reshuffle his midfield.
