Last season's Europa League winner Tottenham Hotspur's honor fell to the ground in the transfer market this summer. Not only has he missed key targets in a row, but he has also been criticized for trying to bring Morgan Gibbs-White in particular from Nottingham by illegal means.
As the controversy grew, Tottenham eventually gave up Gibbs-White. As a result, Tottenham did not get a player and only brought criticism on itself. It failed to bring in another player who will be a major force after Brian Mbomo and Antoine Semeno. The Tottenham club's serious lack of bargaining power is pointed out.

Originally, the incident was known to have caused Nottingham to cancel the transfer after Tottenham illegally identified the £60 million (about 111.5 billion won) buyout amount existing in the contract between Gibbs-White and Nottingham.
However, a credible British media outlet released a report that reversed this. According to this, the victim appears to be Tottenham.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 29th (Korean time) 'The contents of Gibbs-White's release clause were distorted and the Tottenham club was in a strange situation due to allegations that the player's authenticity was also suspected.' This is a reference to a report by the Telegraph, a credible media outlet.

Even reporter Fabrizio Romano, known as a first-tier reporter in the European transfer market, posted his signature phrase 'HERE WE GO' on his SNS, which means successful transfer, "Tottenham paid £60 million for Gibbs-White and succeeded in recruiting him. We have reached an agreement with the player, and medical tests will be conducted soon." The BBC, a British public broadcaster with the strongest public confidence, also reported Gibbs-White's transfer to Tottenham.
However, the recruitment of Gibbs-White, which seemed to be going smoothly, suddenly stopped.
The Nottingham club raised the issue first. Nottingham suspected Tottenham had illegally contacted the player and found out the amount of the buyout, a confidentiality point in the contract, and suspended the transfer.
Nottingham then said it would bring the matter to the EPL secretariat.

However, as details related to Tottenham's failure to recruit Gibbs-White are known, shocking facts are rising to the surface.
The Telegraph reported embarrassment, saying, `It is possible that Tottenham did not meet Gibbs-White's release clause in the first place.'
The media outlet said the Nottingham club was not angry about Tottenham's breach of confidentiality conditions. Rather, there are doubts about whether Tottenham complied with the exact conditions of the release clause'Initially, Nottingham and Gibbs-White's release clause includes several conditions other than transfer fees, and it is possible that Tottenham did not meet them from the beginning. Nottingham were not satisfied with Tottenham's strategy, notified Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy of legal action, and considered making an official complaint to the Premier League, the report said.
In the end, if this is true, Nottingham's claims in the first place 'Tottenham's illegal contact and breach of confidentiality' will not be true. In other words, Tottenham may have been rather caught up in the Nottingham club's strategy.

The boundaries of truth have become blurred. Did Tottenham fail in an unscrupulous attempt, or was it rather stabbed in the back while approaching stupidly. This issue is likely to cause a stir in the EPL.
