‘Gibbs-White says goodbye to Forest fans’ amid Tottenham transfer saga
Tottenham could potentially announce Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan-Gibbs White as their new signing soon.
Evangelos Marinakis has delayed Spurs from buying the England international for his £60million release clause after accusing the North Londoners of making an illegal approach.
Forest hope to get Gibbs-White on a new contract at the City Ground, but his gesture during the 0-0 draw against Monaco in a friendly on 19 July may be telling.

Forest fans hailed Gibbs-White against the Ligue 1 outfit as he made his way to the tunnel after the first half on Saturday.
The 25-year-old reciprocated the admiration and clapped the fans, proceeding to make a heart shape before heading into the dressing room.
It could potentially have been the last time the English midfielder played for the Tricky Trees, and he may have said goodbye to the fans before moving to Tottenham.
Spurs are confident about signing Gibbs-White, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him finally be permitted to complete his move to N17.

The 25-year-old will get to play Champions League football at the North London outfit next season, something that will undoubtedly be enticing.
With Thomas Frank replacing Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham won the Europa League, the Danish manager will face significant pressure to succeed.
The England international’s addition at the Lilywhites arguably makes perfect sense as they struggled with multiple fitness issues in the midfield last season.
Frank should get more quality transfers at Tottenham
Mohammed Kudus’ signing from West Ham United has delighted supporters, but more such moves should be made in N17 before the end of August.
Gibbs-Whites’ arrival will definitely bolster Tottenham’s engine room, but Daniel Levy evidently needs to focus on the defence as well.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven’s consistent injuries last season undoubtedly played a role in Postecoglou struggling for form in the Premier League.
With fans eagerly anticipating the Forest midfielder’s arrival, the North Londoners shouldn’t lose focus on their other apparent needs this summer.
