Overview

• Nottingham Forest have lodged a formal Premier League complaint accusing Tottenham of an illegal approach after activating Morgan Gibbs-White’s £60 million release clause.
• The club sent an “explosive” letter to both Spurs and the league instructing Tottenham to make no further contact with the England midfielder.
• If the Premier League finds Tottenham guilty of tapping up, the north London side could face significant fines or a transfer ban.
• Gibbs-White has returned to Nottingham for pre-season training at the Nigel Doughty Academy and held talks with Forest over his future.
• Tottenham remain optimistic they can resolve the dispute and complete the signing despite the ongoing league review.
