Overview

  • Tottenham Hotspur activated Gibbs-White’s £60 million release clause on July 8, prompting Forest to allege an illegal approach and breach of confidentiality.
  • Nottingham Forest lodged a formal complaint on July 12 and warned it would pursue legal action if the club’s confidentiality terms were violated.
  • The Premier League opened an investigation on July 15 and suspended progress of the transfer until the dispute is resolved.
  • Gibbs-White missed the start of Forest’s pre-season camp in Portugal for a personal matter unrelated to football and is expected to rejoin the squad later this week.
  • Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has signaled a preference to sell the England midfielder to a club other than Tottenham if the move cannot proceed.
