The potential shirt numbers Morgan Gibbs-White could wear at Tottenham after the north London club completing a stunning move for the England international.

Tottenham ’s move for Morgan Gibbs-White has been thrown into significant doubt amid reports Nottingham Forest are considering legal action over a perceived illegal approach. Spurs on Thursday made progress on a deal for the Forest midfielder, who is understood to have a £60million release clause in his contract.

The expected departure of Morgan Gibbs-White will leave a cavernous creative void at Nottingham Forest. While Chris Wood provided the goals last season and Newcastle-bound Anthony Elanga enhanced Forest's forward line with his pace and assists, Gibbs-White was the team's fulcrum.
