Midfielder pens three-year contract extension
Gibbs-White was a key target for Spurs in window
Tottenham have been handed a huge blow after their summer transfer target Morgan Gibbs-White signed a new three-year contract at Nottingham Forest.
The 25-year-old was expected to make a £60m move to Spurs earlier this month after they apparently triggered a release clause. However, Forest reacted furiously to the news and threatened legal action over an alleged illegal approach for the player.
Forest were also preparing a complaint to the Premier League, arguing that Spurs’ conduct surrounding the proposed transfer had been inappropriate. The two-time European champions consulted lawyers because they believed Spurs did not have permission to speak with Gibbs-White and also felt there had been a breach in confidentiality regarding the release clause in the England man’s contract.
