Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White has signed a new three-year deal<\/a> at the City Ground. Tottenham Hotspur had reportedly triggered a \u00a360 million release clause in the midfielder\u2019s contract on July 10, which Forest claim amounted to an \u2018illegal\u2019 approach<\/a>, but the 25-year-old has now committed his future to the Midlands side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest\u2019s Morgan Gibbs-White Rejects Tottenham and Signs New Three-Year Deal<\/b><\/h2>\n

What Do We Know So Far?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Gibbs-White has put pen to paper on what has been described as a \u201crecord deal\u201d<\/a> at Forest, extending his stay at the City Ground until the summer of 2028. Tying down the England international, who is one of the club\u2019s most important and influential players, was heralded as a ‘statement of intent’ by the Tricky Trees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tottenham had reportedly booked in a medical for Gibbs-White after they appeared to trigger the midfielder\u2019s release clause<\/a> on July 10, but Forest have now silenced the speculation around the attacker\u2019s future. The club have been considering legal action against the North London side, claiming a confidentiality agreement around Gibbs-White\u2019s release clause was breached.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old a<\/span>rrived at the City Ground from Wolverhampton Wanderers for more than \u00a340 million in 2022, and has since become one of the club\u2019s most important players, scoring 18 goals and recording 28 assists in 118 games. The Englishman enjoyed a standout season last year as Forest qualified for European football for the first time in 30 years, and will now continue his adventure with the Midlands side.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Has Gibbs-White Said?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Following the contract announcement, Gibbs-White said<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve felt at home at Forest from the moment I arrived. The support from the fans, my teammates, and everyone around the club has been unbelievable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in what we are building here. I want to be part of something special.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The midfielder has joined his teammates in Portugal for the club\u2019s pre-season training camp after being granted additional time off due to a private family matter, and has since featured in friendly matches against Monaco and Fulham. His decision to extend his stay at the City Ground comes as a welcome boost for Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s side, who have already lost one key player in Anthony Elanga<\/a> this summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Painful Misstep For Tottenham<\/b><\/h3>\n

Tottenham were one of a number of clubs keen on signing the former Wolves man this summer, with Manchester City also expressing an interest, but the situation appears to have gone from bad to worse for Thomas Frank\u2019s side. Not only have the club missed out on one of their top targets this summer, but they are facing the possibility of legal action over their conduct.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forest shut off all communication with Spurs over the incident and have made it clear to both the London club and Gibbs-White\u2019s agent that they reserve the right to mount legal action. Tottenham remain in the market for a number ten, and have already signed Mathys Tel<\/a> and Mohammed Kudus <\/a>as attacking reinforcements in this transfer window.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
