Liverpool concluded the year in style, delivering a resounding 5-0 victory over West Ham to secure their position at the top of the Premier League table, six points clear of second-placed Arsenal. Thriving under Arne Slot’s leadership, the Reds are poised to strengthen their squad further, with sources from Football Insider revealing their “concrete” interest in Nottingham Forest’s standout player, Morgan Gibbs-White.

Liverpool has the opportunity to strengthen their squad further this month as the January transfer window is now in full swing. Despite this, current indications suggest the club will refrain from making additions to Arne Slot’s squad and instead wait until the summer to make moves.
However, that hasn’t stopped speculation linking players to Anfield, with the Reds reportedly keeping a close watch on Morgan Gibbs-White as a potential target.
Liverpool are impressed with the Forest starter
Liverpool are eager to secure a playmaker capable of linking the play and adding a goal-scoring edge from an advanced midfield role. Morgan Gibbs-White, the attacking midfielder who joined Nottingham Forest in 2022, has emerged as a prime target for the Reds.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s Forest, currently third in the Premier League behind Arne Slot’s Liverpool, are unlikely to entertain a January move for the England international. However, a summer deal at the right price could prove more difficult for Forest to resist. This season, Gibbs-White has made 15 Premier League appearances, contributing three goals and three assists. He has also donned the captain’s armband on several occasions as Forest push for a European spot in the 2024-25 campaign. The 24-year-old earned his England debut in September 2024 under Lee Carsley, who later handed him a second appearance in November against Greece.
With Alexis Mac Allister’s form depreciating, Liverpool may explore alternatives to strengthen their midfield. While the Reds already have Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, and Harvey Elliott in similar roles, the addition of Gibbs-White could bring a new dynamic to their setup.

While some argue Liverpool should prioritise centre-back and left-back reinforcements, the 24-year-old Gibbs-White remains an interesting option. With room to grow, he could bring added quality, dynamism, and end product to Liverpool’s midfield if signed.
