Nottingham Forest have blocked Tottenham's attempts to sign Morgan Gibbs-White after accusing them of making an illegal approach for the England international.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis wants Morgan Gibbs-White to join Manchester City instead of Tottenham if he leaves the club this summer. Earlier this month, Spurs activated the midfielder's £60 million ($80m) release clause but the transfer talks stalled after Forest accused the Lilywhites of making an "illegal approach".
