Nottingham Forest have maintained the position that Morgan Gibbs-White’s transfer to Tottenham Hotspur is off.
Morgan Gibbs-White was due to have a medical at Tottenham Hotspur last week, however, Forest believe he was illegally approached and have therefore put a halt to the £60m transfer.
As far as Nottingham Forest are concerned, it’s business as usual, despite some belief that Gibbs-White will still join Spurs, at some stage this summer.
Gibbs-White has returned to training and the social media team have been eager to share pictures of him smiling, interestingly.
Now, a fresh report has just emerged detailing how he has been acting around the training ground.
How Morgan Gibbs-White has acted in Nottingham Forest training
Forest are expected to have more clarity on the Gibbs-White situation by the end of next week, with the club considering an official complaint to the Premier League.
In the meantime, whilst he remains a Forest player, Gibbs-White has been showing up to training as normal.
In fact, according to the Daily Mail, the England international has ‘shown an exemplary attitude’, with no suggestion of down tooling at all.

There is, of course, a scenario where he is forced to remain at the City Ground, so clearly he’s keen to maintain a good impression among his teammates and staff.
Gibbs-White did hold talks with club chiefs on Monday and remains hopeful of a move to the North Londoners.
Tottenham considering second offer for Gibbs-White
It’s understood that Tottenham are considering a second offer worth £65m to push through Gibbs-White’s transfer.
It’s not yet known whether that will tempt Forest into sanctioning his sale, but either way, the former Wolves playmaker isn’t refusing to pen a new contract as it stands.
For that reason, it’s probably best for all parties to finalise this transfer to ensure Nuno Espirito Santo has sufficient time to bring in a replacement.
Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss is on Espirito Santo’s radar, as is Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey, so there are good options out there.
A telling week lies ahead for the East Midlanders, who are due to fly to Portugal for a pre-season camp.
