Nottingham Forest midfielder and Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> transfer target Morgan Gibbs-White reported for preseason training at Forest\u2019s training ground this morning<\/a> after his purported move to Spurs was held up over an official protest. <\/p>\n

MGW was set to have a medical on Friday ahead of a transfer to Tottenham after Spurs med the \u00a360m release clause in his contract, but Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis launched a formal protest with the Premier League, stating that Spurs and Gibbs-White had made an illegal approach over the player\u2019s release clause. Forest contends that they did not give permission for Tottenham to speak with Gibbs-White and contend the exact price of his release clause was confidential.<\/p>\n

Some sources had said that Gibbs-White had completed his medical at Hotspur Way as planned ahead of what was expected to be a mere delay, but according to Football.London<\/a>, MGW did not actually leave Nottingham to travel to London last week. Gibbs-White did not participate in Forest\u2019s recent friendly against Chesterfield, but not because of the transfer \u2014 MGW was one of Forests\u2019 international players who was slated to return to the club this week regardless.<\/p>\n

So what now? It\u2019s a good question. Spurs are said to feel confident the transfer will go through eventually, but Forest do appear to be serious about loding their formal protest over Tottenham\u2019s actions. It\u2019s not immediately clear how much of a leg Marinakis have to stand on. Neither club have made any official statements over Gibbs-White\u2019s transfer as of yet, and are waiting to see how the legal proceedings play out. <\/p>\n

We also don\u2019t yet know whether the delay for Gibbs-White will have any impact on the rest of Tottenham\u2019s season, or if the threat of extended legal proceedings will cause Spurs to move on from MGW to other targets. <\/p>\n

Basically, we\u2019re in the same position today as we were on Friday \u2014 limbo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nottingham Forest midfielder and Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Morgan Gibbs-White reported for preseason training at Forest\u2019s training ground…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[439,446,444,440,436,437,442,445,448,59,434,441,433,443,266,101,450,447,438,449,56,54,55,435],"class_list":["post-450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-after","tag-captain","tag-cartilage","tag-club","tag-for","tag-forest","tag-formal","tag-free","tag-front-page","tag-gb","tag-gibbs","tag-launches","tag-morgan","tag-protest","tag-reports","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-hotspur-transfer-news-rumours","tag-tottenham-hotspur-transfers-rumors","tag-training","tag-transfer-rumors","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-white"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
