The Tottenham hierarchy are not best pleased with the way the Morgan Gibbs-White saga has dragged on, with the attacking midfielder now appearing no closer to sealing a move to Spurs.
Various reports have continued to suggest that Gibbs-White will complete a move to Spurs eventually, but it is unclear at the moment how long the issue will take to be resolved, with the move already being held up for two weeks.
It has been reported that Forest are hoping to sell Gibbs-White to Man City instead of Spurs after the Manchester club expressed interest in the midfielder earlier this summer.
However, according to updates over the last few days, Pep Guardiola’s men have no intention of bidding for the Tottenham target, who is still waiting to complete a switch to N17.
Tottenham are frustrated with Morgan Gibbs-White delay
GiveMeSport have now revealed that Spurs are disappointed that they have not been able to get the deal for the midfielder over the line until now.
It is explained that Gibbs-White has remained adamant that he wants to complete a move to North London, having been impressed by Thomas Frank’s vision.
However, the legal mess continues to drag on after the Midlands club accused the Lilywhites of an illegal approach.

The publication adds that Tottenham have been unable to make any progress in the deal, and this has left them frustrated.
Are Tottenham considering moving on to other alternatives?
Some Spurs fans have called on the club to abandon their Gibbs-White pursuit and turn their attention to alternatives.
However, according to some sources, Tottenham remain confident that Gibbs-White will make the move to N17, with Daniel Levy and the club’s top brass feeling that their activation of the £60m release clause was legitimate.
One wonders how long Spurs will wait for this mess to be sorted out, and it will be interesting to see if the midfielder takes matters into his own hands to force the move.
