Midfielder Gibbs-White pens new Forest deal amid Spurs links

The England star will remain at the City Ground until 2028 after it looked like he would move to Spurs earlier in the window

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has signed a new deal to remain at the Premier League club until 2028, ending speculation over a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

British media had reported earlier this month that Tottenham were set to trigger a release clause in Gibbs-White's contract but Forest confirmed late on Saturday the player would remain at the City Ground.

"A central figure in Forest's Premier League resurgence and a fan favourite at the City Ground, Gibbs-White has underlined his long-term commitment to the club by agreeing to fresh terms," Forest said in a statement.

Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season, earning a place in the UEFA Conference League's playoff round.
