Spurs had already booked in Medical for Morgan Gibbs-White, who has a release clause of £ 60 million, only for Nottingham Forest Chiefs to now claim that an illegal approach has been made for English midfielder
Morgan Gibbs-White's £ 60 million switch to Tottenham Hotspur has been won with Angry Nottingham Forest with a weight of legal steps because of what they believe was an illegal approach.
In a medical medical medical for the midfielder of England, Spurs had a decision to activate his release clause of £ 60 million, but the move can now be in danger to forest who wrote a letter of complaints to their rival club and the Premier League about an alleged tap of their captain.
The arrival of midfielder Gibbs-White, 25, would follow the £ 55 million of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham and the young Japanese defender Kota Takai while Spurs build a team that can compete in both the Premier League and Champions League under new head coach Thomas Frank.
Forest is not a financial pressure to sell Gibbs-White, 25, which has already punished the £ 55 million sale of Anthony Elanga to Newcastle earlier this week. Manchester City had also weighed a movement to only cool their interest in the past two weeks.
GIBBS-WHITE, whose forest contract has two years, moved to the city of Wolves in August 2022 for a first fee of £ 25 million plus £ 17 million in add-ons and wolves earn a reduction of 10 percent from any profit on his possible sale.
He was a key figure last season when Forest returned to Europe for the first time since 1995-96, scored seven goals and offered eight assists in 34 league games.
But they fell late from the Champions League places late in the season and will participate in the Conference League instead.
Forest has already received £ 16.8 million from the departure of Ramon Sosa and Andrew Omobamidele to Palmeiras and Strasbourg. On Friday they confirmed the arrival of defender Jair Cunha of Botafogo, where forward Igor Jesus already made a switch of £ 10 million from the Brazilian outfit.
