WHAT HAPPENED?
Earlier this month, speculation intensified as reports surfaced suggesting Gibbs-White was poised to complete a medical at Tottenham Hotspur. That move, however, hit multiple roadblocks and the player has signed a one-year extension with the club, which will now keep him for three more years with the Tricky Trees.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Gibbs-White recently rejoined his teammates at Forest's pre-season training camp in Portugal after being granted additional time at home due to a private family issue. Upon linking up with the squad, he featured in a goalless friendly against French side AS Monaco on July 19, which signalled that an extension could be on the cards.
WHAT FOREST SAID
Forest put out an update on X, which read: "A statement of intent from our owner Evangelos Marinakis, as Morgan Gibbs-White signs a record deal at the Club until the summer of 2028. 🤝"
DID YOU KNOW?
Since his switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2022, Gibbs-White has steadily grown into one of Forest's most valuable assets. His creativity and leadership were on full display during the 2024–25 season, in which he tallied seven goals and 10 assists to help propel the club to a remarkable seventh-place finish in the Premier League. With 118 appearances in a Forest shirt, he has notched 18 goals and delivered 28 assists, numbers that reflect his consistent impact in the final third.
WHAT NEXT FOR FOREST?
Forest are set to play a string of friendlies ahead of their Premier League opener against Brentford on August 17. They lost 3-1 to Fulham on Saturday and will be back in action against Estoril Praia on July 30.

Liverpool ready to strike deal after €60m price drop
Liverpool are in position to strike a deal after a dramatic €60m price drop. The Reds are as busy as can be. Liverpool have been busier than any team in this transfer window. They've signed several elite players already, while losing a few, too. Shop the LFC Store LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Florian Wirtz is the headline arrival, joining Liverpool for a club-record fee. Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez followed him as new full-backs. Hugo Ekitike has also moved to Anfield in a big-money move that sees him boost competition up top. Of course, everyone hopes Alexander Isak joins him in that. Trent Alexander-Arnold is the biggest name to leave - he's signed for Real Madrid. Jarell Quansah and Caoimhin Kelleher have also left the club, while Luis Diaz became one of the biggest sales in Liverpool's history this week as he signed for Bayern Munich. And now Liverpool are ready to agree another sale - for a cut-price fee. Federico Chiesa on the transfer list Sport Mediaset reports that Liverpool are firmly looking to sell Federico Chiesa. This is under one year since signing him from Juventus for a fee just shy of €15m all-in. The claim here is that Chiesa is available for just €10m - an actual loss for Liverpool on his transfer fee. More dramatically, it means a player once valued at €70m has suffered a €60m decrease in what are supposed to be his prime years. The reality is that Chiesa didn't get a fair go at it with Liverpool. His lack of fitness over the first half of the season made things difficult, while the squad's other wingers kept performing at an incredible level.

How to watch Arsenal vs Tottenham: TV channel and live stream for pre-season north London derby
Arsenal and Tottenham continue their pre-season campaigns on Thursday with the first north London Derby ever held outside the UK. All eyes will be on Mikel Arteta's team selection as Viktor Gyokeres is set to receive his first Arsenal minutes after completing a £55million move from Sporting. Arsenal were crying out for a consistent striker throughout last season, and the hope is that the prolific Swede will help them reach the summit of the Premier League. In the opposite dugout, Thomas Frank is juggling a few injuries with Radu Dragusin and Dejan Kulusevski still out, while James Maddison and Dominic Solanke are considered doubts. After recording draws with both Wycombe and Luton Town in a double-header day of friendlies last weekend, Spurs are in need of a positive result. With just two more friendlies remaining before they face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup, time is running out to get on song. How to watch Arsenal vs Tottenham TV channel: The match will not be broadcast on TV in the UK. Live stream: The match will be streamed live on both SPURSPLAY, Tottenham's in-house streaming platform, and on An annual pass to SPURSPLAY costs £45.00, while Arsenal operate on a pay-per-view basis.

Five U21 gems we can't wait to see in action 🤩
Only future greats? In a few weeks, the European championships will resume and it will be an opportunity for new players to reveal themselves to the general public. Some seem ready to set the football world on fire. We therefore propose the five gems playing outside of Ligue 1 that we can't wait to see in action. Max Dowman (15 years old - Arsenal) He's THE gem of the moment and yes, you read correctly, he's only 15 years old. Already announced as a future great in the Gunners' youth categories, the left-footer shone with his astonishing ease during the pre-season friendly match against Newcastle. Already dazzling at the U17 Euro, where he gave all the tournament's defenses a run for their money, the young Englishman is destined to make his professional debut this season. Between Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Max Dowman, Arsenal has become a real gem factory. Franco Mastantuono (17 years old - Real Madrid) He is one of those who stirred up the early transfer window and Real fans have only one desire, to see him in action. A fine technician with his left foot and lethal on free kicks, the Argentine ticks all the boxes of a thrill player. Now it remains to be seen how he will adapt to the highest level and when Xabi Alonso will be ready to throw him in at the deep end. Conrad Harder (20 years old - Sporting Portugal) Sporting wasted no time in replacing Viktor Gyökeres and did not hesitate to give his number 9 to Conrad Harder, their Danish gem. Used to playing parts of matches last season in Liga Portugal, the 20-year-old striker managed to finish the season with five goals and five assists. Freed from the presence of the Swedish giant, who left for Arsenal, Harder will have plenty of time to lead Sporting's attack. Estevao (18 years old - Chelsea) Among the army of young players recruited by the Blues, Estevao stands out as the main attraction. The young Brazilian dazzled South America last season with his left foot. While he will have to deal with competition from players like Pedro Neto, Jamie Gittens and Cole Palmer, the young winger should still manage to make his mark in a year when the schedule looks busy for the Blues. Jobe Bellingham (19 years old - Dortmund) In the Bellingham family, I'd like the little brother. Less exposed than his elder, Jobe has started to make a lot of noise this season. After a superb season with Sunderland, which ended with a promotion to the Premier League, the young midfielder made the big leap to join Dortmund... like Jude. We can't wait to see if he will follow the same trajectory as his brother.
