Fresh Morgan Gibbs-White development emerges out of Nottingham Forest camp as Tottenham given a sign

There has just been a fresh development on Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White amid Tottenham Hotspur interest.

Nottingham Forest have blocked Morgan Gibbs-White’s transfer to Tottenham Hotspur as they believe he was illegally approached.

There is a suggestion that Evangelos Marinakis is hoping Gibbs-White will join Manchester City over the North Londoners, as he feels that’s more his level.

But, Man City have cooled their interest in Gibbs-White, leaving Thomas Frank’s side as the only concrete suitors.

Morgan Gibbs-White joins back up with Nottingham Forest in Portugal

It was reported on Monday that Gibbs-White didn’t travel with Nottingham Forest to Portugal due to personal reasons.

The matter was completely ‘unrelated to football’ and now John Percy has confirmed that the Nottingham Forest captain flew in to camp last night.

The England international is back training with his teammates ahead of Forest’s next friendly against fellow Premier League side Fulham.

Gibbs-White has been exemplary in training

A lot has been made about Gibbs-White’s desire to join Tottenham Hotspur.

However, it’s understood that since returning to Forest training, Gibbs-White’s attitude has been exemplary and there are no concerns about his reintegration to the group.

The 25-year-old does remain hopeful of a move to North London and it has been reported that Spurs are considering a second offer.

Indeed, that would exceed his release clause, making it hard for Marinakis and his chiefs to turn down knowing Gibbs-White is refusing to sign a new deal to remove it.

So, there is still an air of uncertainty around his future at the City Ground.
