Morgan Gibbs-White has committed his future to Nottingham Forest by signing a new contract until the summer of 2028, ending speculation over a move to Tottenham Hotspur. The England midfielder was the subject of a £60 million bid from Spurs earlier this month, but Forest disputed the approach as 'illegal' and the deal collapsed.
The new contract is described as a 'record deal' for the club, with owner Evangelos Marinakis calling it a 'statement of intent' in a statement on X. Gibbs-White had previously resisted Forest's attempts to offer him a new deal, but has now agreed terms that reportedly double his previous £60,000-a-week salary.
Gibbs-White joined Forest from Wolves in 2022 for a club-record £25 million, with potential add-ons of £17 million. He has since made 118 appearances, scoring 18 goals and providing 28 assists. Last season, he netted seven times and set up ten goals as Forest finished seventh, securing a spot in the Europa Conference League.
The 25-year-old recently returned to training after missing the start of pre-season due to personal reasons. His partner, Britney De Villiers, revealed on social media that she was experiencing complications with her pregnancy. Gibbs-White played the first half of Forest's pre-season friendly at Chesterfield on July 19, receiving a warm reception from fans.
