Sky Sports has revealed that the transfer of Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest to Tottenham Hotspur is now at risk, as Forest has halted all discussions with the London club and is considering legal action against the deal.

According to Sky Sports, Nottingham Forest believes that Tottenham made an illegal approach to the player without obtaining official permission, despite the triggering of the release clause in his contract, which amounts to £60 million. The club also thinks there has been a breach of confidentiality regarding the value of the release clause, as Tottenham's offer matched it exactly.

The network indicated that Forest is considering filing an official complaint with the Premier League, which threatens to cancel the deal or delay it until investigations are completed.

Both clubs have declined to comment on this news, awaiting the outcome of Nottingham Forest's consultations with their lawyer regarding the next steps.
