Morgan Gibbs-White is keen to have his future sorted before Nottingham Forest depart for their pre-season camp in Portugal.
The 25 year old finds himself at the centre of a heated transfer dispute after Tottenham triggered his £60million release clause, believing they had secured the England international at a bargain price.
However, Forest retaliated by alleging an "illegal approach" from the North London outfit and threatened legal action amid concerns over a confidentiality breach regarding the player's release clause.
The City Ground club declared the transfer dead in the water for now after lodging a complaint against Spurs with the Premier League, with Gibbs-White subsequently returning to pre-season preparations under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his situation, Gibbs-White has maintained an "exemplary attitude" during training sessions, according to the Daily Mail, though he remains determined to join Thomas Frank's Tottenham, reports the Mirror.
The midfielder held discussions with Forest hierarchy at their training facility on Monday and is now seeking resolution regarding his destination for the upcoming campaign.
Gibbs-White remains "hopeful" that matters will be concluded by the weekend as Forest gear up for their opening pre-season encounter against Monaco on Saturday.
During their Portuguese stint, Forest are scheduled to face Fulham and local outfit Estoril Praia. The report suggests that the "ball is in Tottenham's court", with the Europa League winners contemplating a second offer valued at approximately £65m - though it remains uncertain whether such a sum would persuade Forest to reconsider their stance.
Should no advancement occur regarding a fresh proposal, Gibbs-White is anticipated to accompany Forest on their Portuguese excursion. The squad are scheduled to remain in the country until August 1.
They will then return for fixtures against Fiorentina and Al Qadsiah at the City Ground ahead of their Premier League curtain-raiser versus Brentford on August 17.
Frank would be keen to integrate Gibbs-White into his setup at the earliest opportunity to ensure a complete pre-season alongside the gifted midfielder, who netted seven times in the Premier League last campaign whilst providing eight assists.
His outstanding displays have also attracted attention from Manchester City and he now boasts four England caps - with Thomas Tuchel selecting him for recent encounters against Andorra and Senegal.
Spurs are optimistic about making him their second marquee acquisition of the transfer window having already wrapped up the signing of West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus for £55m.
