Chelsea Eye Gibbs-White as Enzo Fernandez Exit Looms
Chelsea have identified Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White as a potential target, with the Blues looking to strengthen their midfield options before the transfer window shuts.
The west London club are weighing up a move in case Enzo Fernandez leaves this summer, though sources close to the situation stress any incoming signing would not necessarily need to be a like-for-like replacement. Chelsea’s priority is a player who can offer versatility across midfield and attack.
Fernandez has been strongly linked with a switch to Manchester City, and Chelsea have already begun exploring alternatives in anticipation of a possible exit. Lamine Kamara is understood to be among several midfield options on their radar.
Gibbs-White has been one of Forest’s key performers this season, operating mainly as an attacking midfielder — a different profile to Fernandez, but one that could give Chelsea added creativity and a greater goal threat from midfield.
With the deadline edging closer, his situation is being watched closely. Forest, however, are reluctant to sell one of their most influential players and are not expected to let him go without a fight.
