Tottenham handed boost in £60m Morgan Gibbs-White feud with Nottingham Forest
Spurs looked nailed on to sign the 25-year-old after triggering his £60million release clause, with a medical lined up for the England international - but Nottingham Forest were left furious Tottenham are still hopeful they can wrap up a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White despite a furious row with his club Nottingham Forest over claims the London side illegally tapped the player up. Spurs looked nailed on to sign the 25-year-old after triggering his £60million release clause, with a medical lined up for the England international. But Forest came firing back and claimed they had not given permission for Tottenham to speak to the player and were consulting with their lawyers over a possible breach of confidentiality regarding the release clause. There has been some confusion over the dispute, with some fans questioning how Forest can stand in the way of a player whose release clause has been activated. But Forest are set to lodge a complaint with the Premier League after Spurs reportedly submitted a bid at the exact number from his release clause.

Gibbs-White was not present in the matchday squad for Forest's first pre-season friendly as the team drew 0-0 with Chesterfield and there has been speculation that the ongoing transfer saga was the cause. But in fact, the England star was never due to return at this point after being part of the group of players who featured on international duty last month - and was set to come back to training next week. The report goes on to say that Gibbs-White is a player who has been long admired by new boss Thomas Frank after his impressive displays for Forest in midfield in recent seasons. In the 2024-25 campaign, he scored seven times and assisted eight goals leading to plenty of interest in his signature - including from Manchester City. Spurs have already made three signings this summer, with Mohammed Kudus arriving from West Ham for £55m. Tottenham have also taken up the option to sign Mathys Tel from Bayern and Kevin Danso from Lens permanently following their loan spells.

Forest primed to strengthen their ranks with Manchester City midfielder
Missing Premier League football? Well, Wimbledon was wonderful, the Tour de France is as transfixing as ever and Royal Ascot was glamorous. Added to that, Paris Saint-Germain have been must-watch television in the Club World Cup, the Women's European Championship has been fun and there's always cricket, baseball and the pure poetry in motion of those graceful, elegant greyhounds gliding round the track to savour. So yeah, me neither. It's lovely to have a rest from the day-to-day, non-stop grind of the domestic game, in fact it has been something of a relief. The new season is around the corner now, though, with a return to training and pre-seasons friendlies and clubs are ramping up the stakes with transfers starting to drop at a fast and furious rate as teams strengthen their squads in the never-ending quest for silverware. Manchester City are usually regarded as buyers, not sellers, in the summer and winter markets but they look set to allow one of the young stars in their ranks leave for a fresh chance. It was this time in 2023 Pep Guardiola allowed Cole Palmer to be sold to Chelsea so he could play regular first-team football and although the England international faded slightly after a lightning start to his career at Stamford Bridge, the £42.5million deal still looks a fantastic piece of business for the Blues. Fellow midfielder James McAtee could be the next young gun to be hired by Premier League rivals seeking to upgrade their ranks and there's a gaggle of clubs seeking to lure the midfielder away from the Etihad Stadium. Nottingham Forest need recruitment in their engine room after losing Anthony Elanga to Newcastle for £55m with Morgan Gibbs-White almost certain to join Tottenham for £60m, despite angst at the City Ground at what they appear to consider to be tapping up from Spurs. Forest are believed to be weighing up a £25m bid for a player who was key to England's successful defence of their title at the Under-21 European Championship and the Tricky Trees are also planning a raid for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa. West Ham are keen on McAtee as well and are 5/1 with William Hill to secure a deal for the City youngster to join them after losing Mohamed Kudus to Tottenham for £55m but Forest are willing to push the boat out and are 10/11 with bet365 to take him to the City Ground. It's clobbering time as The Thing from the Fantastic Four loves to proclaim before getting stuck into a scrap and baseballs are going to take a battering in Atlanta when eight contestants take to the plate for the annual Home Run Derby ahead of Tuesday's All Star Game. Seattle Seahawks catcher Cal Raleigh is enjoying a breakout season after signing a lucrative new deal in the winter and has walloped 38 home runs into the stands already this season to top Major League Baseball's rankings ahead of New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, who have gone yard with 35 and 32 homers respectively. Raleigh is 3/1 with BetMGM to win the contest and they offer 9/10 that the longest ball to become a souvenir for a lucky fan in the bleachers is hit under 477.5 feet from home plate. If you don't own a hat go to the shops and buy one just so you can tip it in the general direction of Iga Swiatek. After losing her French Open title she looked as though she was entering a sticky phase in her career but responded with a magnificent run at Wimbledon, culminating in Saturday's astounding double bagel victory against American Amanda Anisimova. More Trending The No.8 seed at the All England Championship had never been further than the quarter-finals at the grass-court grand slam but is back to her brilliant best and is quoted at 4/1 by Betfred to win a second US Open title in New York in September. Don't be fooled by the 6-0, 6-0 result into writing off Asiminova, however. She's a star in the making and an each-way flutter at 40/1 with Betway for her to succeed at Flushing Meadows wouldn't be off the charts.

Transfer news live: Arsenal given Gyokeres warning, agree Madueke and Chelsea target Donnarumma
The summer transfer window rolls on as Premier League clubs and those around Europe look to add to their squads. Arsenal 's negotiations for Sporting 's Viktor Gyokeres have stalled over a difference in overall value and terms. However, Gyokeres appears to be taking action over the impasse, with the Sweden striker having refused to show up to Sporting training, which has led to the Gunners being given a stark warning, while they have also been busy in agreeing a deal for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. Tottenham have been busy and have aggressively backed new manager Thomas Frank with a deal for West Ham's Mohammed Kudus, but despite triggering the release clause for Morgan Gibbs-White, Nottingham Forest are now considering legal action over what they believe to be an illegal approach. Manchester United secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m early in this window but a subsequent deal for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo has been slow to develop, while the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho remain at the club despite pushing for a fresh start this summer.

Jordan Henderson is set to return to England by signing for Brentford on a free transfer. The former Liverpool captain left Ajax after deciding not to trigger a 12-month extension to his contract with the Dutch club. And Brentford have moved for the 35-year-old as they look for a replacement for Christian Norgaard, who has joined Arsenal. Henderson, who is likely to sign a two-year contract, is expected to have a medical before completing his move to Brentford, which he hopes will enable him to keep his place in the England squad for next summer's World Cup.

'He increased his profile at Sporting. He's come back a completely different animal, worked on his physical side. 'He deserves whatever he gets. Very driven, self-minded. Two or three defenders come, his mentality is he'll run through all of you. He comes across a bit raw, but he's improved. 'Now is the time to come to the Premier League, being the No 9 he is, he's going into a team, all sorts of rumours, if he's going there, they create chances for him. 'If they create chances for him, he will score, I'll back him.' Luke Baker13 July 2025 13:40 Sporting discipline Viktor Gyokeres and warn Arsenal over transfer games Sporting CP have told Viktor Gyokeres he faces a 'hefty fine' for going on strike in an effort to force through a move to Arsenal. The Portuguese club have also warned the Gunners that they will not bow to pressure to accept an offer 'below market value'. Gyokeres, who scored 39 league goals to fire Sporting to the Portuguese title last season, is at the top of Arsenal's wishlist. However, the two clubs are yet to agree a transfer fee and the 27-year-old has appeared to play his hand by refusing to return for pre-season training. Sporting president Frederico Varandas told Portuguese news agency LUSA: 'We're calm. Everything can be solved with the closure of the market, a hefty fine and an apology to the group. If they don't want to pay Viktor's fair market value, we'll be very comfortable with [keeping him] for the next three years.' Luke Baker13 July 2025 13:38
