Evangelos Marinakis receives Morgan Gibbs-White transfer response as Tottenham swap suggested

Nottingham Forest fans have been reacting as Morgan Gibbs-White looks set to leave the club for Tottenham.

Gibbs-White is expected to begin a medical at Spurs on Friday, after they triggered a £60m transfer release clause in his contract at the City Ground.

It comes as the Reds are also set to lose winger Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United in a £55m deal.

Gibbs-White has been a key player for Forest since he moved to the City Ground from Wolves in August 2022 and was central to their seventh-placed finish in the Premier League last season, as they qualified to play in Europe in the new season.

Supporters have been debating his likely departure on our Forest Facebook page. Here is what they have been saying, with owner Evangelos Marinakis being backed to replace him, while Gibbs-White and also the release clause fee have been criticised.

The Reds have also been encouraged to suggest a deal involving James Maddison coming to the City Ground.

Nick Green: The price of success of a good season = everyone wants our players. Turns us into a Feeder Club for the big boys sadly.

Mark Cresswell: Wow, wow and wow! Reminds me of Collymore and Campbell decisions!

John Batchelor: If MGW is going to Spurs, how about 30 million plus Madison. He was a tremendous player when he was at Leicester.

Paul Wheaton: Don't want to play for the Garibaldi? Off you trot..

Tony Baker: I'm not actually that bothered about MGW. I found him frustrating more often than not. His tricks were exciting to watch but very rarely came off. His set pieces are woeful, and his shots on target ratio is about as good as mine.

Andrew Swindells: Not looking to good without gibbs n Elanga hopefully still stay up.

Tom Svoboda: 80 mil. should be minimum.

Ash Starbuck: Looks like its going to be a rough season for us now.......

Richard Slater: Let him go and move on trust the professionals which we are not, football is business at the end of the day and profit makes a business successful, move on and rebuild the team hopefully he gets naff all at spurs.

Ryan Webster: Release clause was too low which needs addressing but MGW still has the opportunity to say no to the move which he won’t do.

Norman Revill: Who the hell are they going to get to fill the number 10 position with just 4 weeks to go before start of the season, and why sell him, I thought he wanted to stay at the WFCG and be a leader.

Craig Hough: Selling this guy is stupid. Key playmaker and best player. Might make a bit of coin but there will be no top 5 finish and champions league at the end of the year as a consequence.
