Nottingham Forest Extends Morgan Gibbs-White Contract Amid Tottenham Interest

Morgan Gibbs-White, a key midfielder for Nottingham Forest, has signed a new three-year contract extending his stay until 2028, despite intense transfer speculation and a £60 million release clause that Tottenham Hotspur triggered. Nottingham Forest disputed Tottenham's approach as improper, leading to halted communications between the clubs, but negotiations for Gibbs-White's new deal are reportedly progressing well, with the player showing professionalism and commitment by joining pre-season training. Gibbs-White has expressed excitement about the possibility of moving to Tottenham, drawn by the project and the promise of consistent playing time under manager Thomas Frank, which contrasts with interest from Manchester City. Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis praised Gibbs-White's talent and character, emphasizing his importance to the club amid efforts to keep him after losing other key players. The midfielder's performance last season was instrumental in helping Forest secure European football, contributing seven goals and ten assists. While Forest aims to retain him, the player's preference for Tottenham and ongoing contract talks suggest a complex transfer situation that could still evolve.
