Overview

• Nottingham Forest have filed a formal complaint with the Premier League accusing Tottenham Hotspur of tapping up Morgan Gibbs-White and breaching the confidentiality of his £60 million release clause.
• The dispute has halted Spurs’ attempt to trigger the buy-out clause and put the England midfielder’s proposed transfer on hold.
• Gibbs-White has resumed pre-season training at the City Ground after missing a scheduled medical in London.
• Tottenham remain prepared to pay the release clause but have refrained from contacting the player until the league rules on Forest’s objection.
• The Premier League is considering whether to open an investigation that could result in fines or a transfer ban if illicit conduct is confirmed.
