Morgan Gibbs-White Forest Contract Extension Ends Spurs Hopes

Tottenham Hotspur’s summer transfer plans hit a major roadblock as Morgan Gibbs-White officially renewed his contract with Nottingham Forest, turning down a highly anticipated move to North London. The 25-year-old midfielder, who had been heavily linked with a £60 million switch to Spurs, instead committed to a new three-year deal that keeps him at the City Ground until 2028.

This surprise turn came after weeks of speculation, with reports claiming Spurs had triggered a release clause. Nottingham Forest reacted strongly, allegedly considering legal action for what they saw as an illegal approach. Club sources also indicated they were ready to lodge a complaint with the Premier League, citing violations in confidentiality and lack of official permission for Spurs to negotiate with Gibbs-White.

The Morgan Gibbs-White Forest contract saga intensified after Forest’s legal team reportedly stepped in. Still, the drama ended late Saturday night when Gibbs-White chose loyalty, inking a fresh deal that quashes all transfer rumors—for now.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis praised the midfielder, saying:

“Morgan is a special player – not just in terms of talent, but character and mentality. There was interest from various clubs, but we are building our future around him.”

Gibbs-White also expressed his passion for the club in a statement via Forest’s official channels:

“From the day I arrived, Forest felt like home. With the vision of Mr. Marinakis and the support of the fans, I believe we’re creating something special.”

After registering seven goals and eight assists in 34 league appearances last season, Gibbs-White proved to be a vital part of Forest’s squad, helping them secure European football with a 7th-place finish. While he was reportedly on the radar of both Spurs and Manchester City, this latest Morgan Gibbs-White Forest contract signals a clear message—he’s staying put and aiming to make history with the Reds.
