Nottingham Forest is considering legal action against Tottenham over their interest in midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, citing a potential breach of the confidentiality agreement.

Nottingham Forest is reportedly furious at Tottenham’s conduct in their pursuit of midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, and the club is considering taking legal action to prevent the transfer. 

According to sources, Forest believes that Tottenham may have breached a confidentiality agreement related to Gibbs-White’s £60m release clause in his contract. The club is looking into whether Tottenham’s actions constitute a breach of this agreement.

The situation has escalated, with Forest insisting that they have not given Tottenham permission to speak to Gibbs-White. Under Premier League rules, clubs are not allowed to approach players under contract with another team without permission. Forest is willing to go to great lengths to prevent the transfer, and their threat of legal action is believed to be genuine.

Gibbs-White has been a key player for Forest since joining the club from Wolves in August 2022. He has made 118 appearances, scoring 18 goals and providing 28 assists. His impressive form has also earned him a debut for England, and he has been a regular feature in the national team’s squads.

Tottenham is aware of the situation but remains hopeful that a deal can be concluded. The club has already signed Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55m this week and may be looking to add Gibbs-White to their midfield. However, Forest’s determination to prevent the transfer could make it difficult for Tottenham to sign the player.
