Tottenham's recruitment of a large team is on the verge of flying away.
Rob Dorsett, a senior reporter for Sky Sports in the UK, reportedly said on his personal SNS on the 11th (Korea time) that a deal is underway to bring Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest to Tottenham. But it's stopped at the moment.'
Dorset said 'Nottingham consulted his lawyer on what he thought was an illegal contact by Tottenham They didn't allow negotiations and cut off all contact with Tottenham. It may be unlikely that the transfer will be blocked at all, but it is definitely stagnating.'

Tottenham is close to signing Gibbs White through reports from several leading reporters on the 10th. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, said 'Gibs White is going to Tottenham. After contacting Nottingham, he invoked the £60 million buyout clause'
The BBC, a British public broadcaster with the highest public confidence, also plans to complete the transfer within 24 hours by invoking the £60 million buyout clause existing in Gibbs White's contract. Gibbs-White was the target of Manchester City's recruitment this summer, but Tottenham began to sign Pep Guardiola. Tottenham showed an aggressive performance, so the transfer is expected to be completed'
Gibbs-White, who made his professional debut through the Wolverhampton youth team in 2017, was already considered the best talent developed by the Wolverhampton youth system and received tremendous attention. Gibbs-White, who later settled in Wolverhampton on loan, was offered by several teams and moved to Nottingham, where he invested a huge transfer fee.

Even after his transfer to Nottingham, Gibbs-White continued to play well and established himself as the ace under Nunu Santo. He played in 38 official games in the 2022-2023 season and became the team's main player, scoring 6 goals and 10 assists in 42 games in the 2023-2024 season, and 7 goals and 8 assists in 38 games in the 2024-2025 season. Danny Murphy, an expert from the English Premier League, compared his performance to world-class midfielder Fabregas who played for Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea.
Initially, there were predictions that Gibbs White's transfer would be difficult along with high demands for a transfer fee, but news emerged that Tottenham was close to signing a buyout.

However, the report once again put Tottenham's recruitment of Gibbs-White on the rocks. England's Daily Express said 'Gipps White's move to Tottenham does not appear to have taken place at this point. There is a possibility that it will be renegotiated later. The club is said to be considering legal action because it believes it is an illegal approach, and news has also been reported that it is preparing to protest the league. Tottenham didn't know anything about Nottingham's position.
Attention is also focusing on whether Tottenham will face the biggest recruitment crisis in the transfer market this summer.
