Tottenham have triggered the release clause in Morgan Gibbs-White’s Nottingham Forest contract.
Nottingham Forest are reported to be considering legal action over what they believe to be an “illegal approach” from Tottenham Hotspur to midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.
Spurs have triggered the £60 million ($81.5 million) release clause in Gibbs-White’s contract and had scheduled a medical for the England international for Friday, but the move now appears to be in jeopardy.
Sky Sports News revealed Forest have ended all communication with Spurs and are now speaking with lawyers as they prepare an official complaint to the Premier League over the proposed deal.
Forest believe Spurs have spoken with Gibbs-White without their permission and also fear there has been a breach in confidentiality when it comes to his release clause, given Spurs’ bid landed perfectly on the required figure.
