Morgan Gibbs-White remains keen on moving to Tottenham Hotspur, and he has now set a clear deadline for when he wants the move to be completed.
Nottingham Forest are continuing to fight to stop Tottenham from landing Gibbs-White for £60m after the Lilywhites met his release clause last week.
The main bone of contention for the Midlands side is that they believe Spurs made an ‘illegal’ approach to the player and have obtained information on his release clause, which was meant to be confidential.
Football finance expert Stefan Borson believes that Spurs now need to pay more than £60m to land Gibbs-White as they would need to cover potential losses that the Midlands club have incurred as a result of the clause being made public.
Gibbs-White wants his future resolved in next few days
The Daily Mail have now revealed that the attacking midfielder has shown an ‘exemplary attitude’ in training since the start of the week.
Gibbs-White has allegedly spoken to the Forest hierarchy and is hopeful that his club and Tottenham will find a solution.
The 25-year-old wants the issue to be resolved by Monday, which is when Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad fly out to Portugal for their pre-season training camp.

The outlet says that the ball is in Tottenham Hotspur’s court at the moment, and Thomas Frank’s men have discussed making a second offer worth £65m.
However, no such offer has arrived yet at Forest, and it is unclear whether it would even be enough to clinch the transfer.
Morgan Gibbs-White could force a move to Tottenham
The big question now is what the midfielder will do if the two clubs do not resolve the issue by Monday.
According to Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett, Gibbs-White may have the legal right to force a move to Tottenham, given that his release clause has been met.
However, journalist Ben Jacobs has said that Gibbs-White is unwilling to agitate for a move to Spurs as he does not want to leave Forest on bad terms.
It will be interesting to see if the midfielder’s stance changes if the Tricky Trees do not soften their hardline stance over the coming days.
