Tottenham strives for Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest, but they now threaten legal steps because they believe they have done an illegal approach
Tottenham remains convinced that they can still secure the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White, despite an inevitable delay because they are accused of drafting the Nottingham forest forward.
Those in the city were made angry by the approach to those of North Londs and have threatened legal steps. Forest it is insisting that they have not given Spurs permission to speak with Gibbs-White and are willing to go how far is needed to prevent the transfer.
Premier League rules state that clubs are not allowed to talk to players under contract with another team unless they have permission. Tottenham would activate the £ 60 million release clause of the player with a medical medical that will be held on Friday.
The anger of Forest and the subsequent threat will now see the deal dragging, but Tottenham still remains confident that they will get their husband, who had been on the Radar of Manchester City earlier this summer.
Forest has currently cut off communication, but football. London understands that Tottenham remains hopeful to get the deal over the line, while they accept that a delay will be inevitable.
Some in the city are supposed to have accepted that they can be powerless to stop the transfer if Spurs would do it all through the right channels in view of the Gibbs-White release clause and apparently desire to make the switch to the capital.
Forest qualified for Europe last season and, after the fall of Crystal Palace at the Europa Conference League, will now play in the Europa League. Nuno Espirito Santo has just seen Antony Elanga, one of his most important attacking weapons, leaves to become a member of Newcastle for £ 55 million.
The club will hate to lose another of their leading lights, but Tottenham can eventually eventually get their husbands if they are now getting hard on the market with Thomas Frank at the helm. Despite winning the Europa League, the club has passed a terrible Premier League campaign for the last time.
However, they did not waste time strengthening their ranks with the signing of £ 55 million from Mohammed Kudus from West Ham that was completed this week. If Gibbs-White were to join the expenditure under Frank up to £ 150 million, including the loan movement of Mathys Tel that is made permanently from Bayern Munich.
