Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White faces an uncertain future.
Morgan Gibbs-White was due to join Tottenham Hotspur with a medical booked last week, however, the transfer has hit a snag.
That’s because Nottingham Forest believe Gibbs-White was illegally approached by Spurs, so they’re considering a complaint to the Premier League.
In the meantime, Nottingham Forest are making plans for if the 25-year-old leaves, with Bilal El Khannouss on Nuno Espirito Santo’s radar.
Now, there has been a fresh update on the whole saga, with a timeline revealed on when it will be sorted.
Nottingham Forest learn timeline for Morgan Gibbs-White transfer saga
Ben Jacobs, speaking to GiveMeSport, has revealed that Nottingham Forest are preparing to offer Gibbs-White a new contract.
“No breakthrough yet, but they will in the next sort of few days or weeks, offer Gibbs-White a brand new deal once again, with improved terms, to see whether or not he will commit and at least stay for another year.”
Jacobs then explained that Forest and Tottenham Hotspur will have ‘more clarity’ on the potential transfer by the end of next week.

“Tottenham still hoping they can get it over the line and that scenario doesn’t happen, and we should get a bit more clarity on the Gibbs-White situation by the latter part of next week, I’m told.”
Forest clearly preparing for Gibbs-White’s exit
Although there have been multiple reports that Forest are certain Gibbs-White’s transfer to Tottenham is off, they’re clearly preparing for it behind the scenes.
Forest are pushing hard to sign James McAtee from Manchester City and it’s understood the England under-21 international is open to joining.
Jacob Ramsey is also being targeted by Espirito Santo, with the Aston Villa playmaker valued at around £40m.
The 24-year-old is wanted by Everton, too, so there is competition for his signature.
