Morgan Gibbs-White signs new Nottingham Forest contract after Spurs transfer fury
Morgan Gibbs-White had been wanted by Tottenham earlier this summer, but Spurs' bid of £60m drew fury from Nottingham Forest who accused the London club of an illegal approach Morgan Gibbs-White has remarkably signed a new three-year contract with Nottingham Forest after being the subject of a £60million bid from Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs thought they had triggered a release clause when they bid for Gibbs-White earlier this month, only for Forest to react furiously and consider legal action over what they saw as an illegal approach. Forest felt that Spurs hadn't been granted permission to speak to the England midfielder, and felt that there had been a breach in confidentiality regarding the terms in his contract. Spurs and new boss Thomas Frank had still hoped to proceed with the signing, but on Saturday evening Forest stunned fans by announcing that Gibbs-White had signed a new three-year deal. The club said: "A central figure in Forest's Premier League resurgence and a fan favourite at the City Ground, Gibbs-White has underlined his long-term commitment to the Club by agreeing to fresh terms. "The deal underlines the ambition of Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, whose vision for European success and sustained Premier League progress continues to shape the club's future." Gibbs-White said: "I've felt at home at Forest from the moment I arrived. The support from the fans, my teammates, and everyone around the club has been unbelievable. "I believe in what we're building here – and with the backing of Mr Marinakis and the enormous ambition he has, I want to be part of making something special. I'm excited for what's to come." Forest owner Marinakis, who posed with Gibbs-White in photos celebrating the new contract, said: "Morgan is a special player – not just in terms of talent, but character and mentality. He represents everything we want this football club to be: he is a winner, talented, ambitious, fearless, and proud. 'There was significant interest from various clubs, but we were determined to build our future with Morgan at the heart of it. I promised our fans we would not only compete, but grow stronger and stronger every season. Today is another big step in that journey."
