    Key Takeaways:

  • Nottingham Forest accuse Tottenham of misconduct over Gibbs-White
  • The deal is now delayed, with Forest preparing a Premier League complaint
  • Spurs’ £60M bid allegedly matches the release clause exactly

The transfer of Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham has been postponed for now, as Nottingham Forest accuse the London club of misconduct and are consulting their legal team regarding potential court action. According to Sky Sports, communication between the two clubs has currently been suspended.

The club from the City Ground believes Tottenham have negotiated directly with the player without permission, which they consider to be illegal. Nottingham Forest also claim a breach of confidentiality surrounding the release clause, as Spurs’ offer was exactly in line with its reported value of £60 million.

It is not yet clear whether Nottingham will be able to block the transfer, but they will certainly delay it, as they are preparing to file a formal complaint to the Premier League. Both clubs have refused to comment on the case.
