Nottingham Forest are set to complain to the Premier League over Tottenham Hotspur's move for Morgan Gibbs-White with the deal now on hold, sources have told ESPN.

Morgan Gibbs-White’s move to Tottenham Hotspur is hanging by a thread — and Nottingham Forest are sharpening their legal swords. What looked like a smooth transfer is now anything but. As per reports (via Sky Sports ), Forest have hit pause on all talks with Spurs and are threatening to take the matter to the Premier League.

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.
