“Tottenham’s Transfer Rollercoaster: Jaw-Dropping Morgan Gibbs-White Deal Hangs by a Thread with Shocking Twists!”

Nottingham Forest have lodged a legal complaint regarding Morgan Gibbs-White’s potential move to Tottenham Hotspur, after the North London side activated his £60 million release clause last week.

Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, is reportedly furious over the clause being leaked and is unhappy with how Spurs have handled the approach.

Although Tottenham remain confident of securing Gibbs-White, Marinakis appears determined to make Daniel Levy and the club work harder to get the deal across the line.

According to The Sun, Forest argue that Spurs should not have been aware of the midfielder’s release clause, as they were never given permission to speak to the 25-year-old.

Marinakis is now demanding clarity on how Levy found out about the clause in Gibbs-White’s contract.

Despite the expectation that the former Wolves man will eventually seal a switch to Tottenham, Forest are seemingly intent on complicating the process and slowing down negotiations.

Meanwhile, new Spurs boss Thomas Frank is said to be pushing for Gibbs-White’s arrival.

The Dane views the England international as the ideal attacking midfielder to add dynamism to his squad at Hotspur Way.

It’s also believed that Frank had previously attempted to sign the player while managing Brentford.

Given Frank’s admiration for Gibbs-White and the club’s determination, Tottenham are unlikely to be deterred by Forest’s legal resistance and will push to complete the transfer.
