Tottenham have been handed a fresh boost in their pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White after Manchester City's stance on returning for the midfielder was revealed.
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis wants Morgan Gibbs-White to join Manchester City instead of Tottenham if he leaves the club this summer. Earlier this month, Spurs activated the midfielder's £60 million ($80m) release clause but the transfer talks stalled after Forest accused the Lilywhites of making an "illegal approach".
Jamie O’Hara has launched a scathing attack on Nottingham Forest, calling their behaviour 'a disgrace' and urging Morgan Gibbs-White to sue the club for blocking his move to Tottenham. Despite Spurs triggering the midfielder’s £60 million ($80m) release clause, Forest halted negotiations and labelled the approach 'illegal', prompting widespread confusion and outrage.
Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White has hit a major roadblock, with Nottingham Forest accusing the North London side of making an 'illegal' approach to their star midfielder. Despite Spurs triggering the 25-year-old’s £60 million ($81m) release clause, Forest have reportedly ceased all communication and are preparing a formal complaint to the Premier League.
