Gibbs-White Explains Stressful Summer After Spurs Saga, Set for Europa Return

He credits family priorities alongside Forest's European campaign for his decision to sign through 2028.

Overview

  • Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White said the summer was a "really stressful" period due to issues around his partner's pregnancy before the couple welcomed their second child.
  • Reports in July said Tottenham were moving to trigger his £60m release clause and a medical was expected, but Forest objected to Spurs' approach and the move collapsed.
  • Gibbs-White ultimately signed a new Forest contract that runs until 2028 and says playing in Europe at the City Ground was a major factor in staying.
  • He is expected to return to the starting lineup for Thursday's Europa League tie against Midtjylland, which will be Forest's first European home game since 1996.
  • The England international pushed back on the idea that footballers are "robots" and said a heart gesture to fans in pre-season was simply part of his usual post-match appreciation.
