Overview
- Tottenham Hotspur activated the £60 million release clause in Morgan Gibbs-White’s Nottingham Forest contract early this month.
- Nottingham Forest escalated the dispute by lodging a formal complaint with the Premier League on July 14 over an alleged confidentiality breach.
- The Premier League is obliged to investigate any official complaint, effectively pausing Gibbs-White’s proposed move pending the outcome.
- Gibbs-White has resumed pre-season training at the Nigel Doughty Academy following his England duty but remains in limbo while his transfer is on hold.
- Football analysts expect Forest’s legal action to delay rather than derail the transfer, with Spurs still confident the deal will conclude once the probe finishes.
