Nottingham Forest’s true motive behind Morgan Gibbs-White noise is good news for Tottenham

Nottingham Forest do not believe that they will be able to stop Morgan Gibbs-White from joining Tottenham but there is a clear reason behind their complaint to the Premier League.

Gibbs-White’s move to Tottenham was expected to be completed on Friday after Spurs triggered the midfielder’s £60m release clause.

However, since then, the deal has ground to a halt as Forest complained to the Premier League that Spurs had illegally approached Gibbs-White without their permission.
