Gibbs-White 'keeping it professional' amid transfer row

Morgan Gibbs-White played for Nottingham Forest in their opening pre-season friendly amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future following Tottenham's approach.

Fans chanted the England midfielder's name as he left the pitch at the end of the first half, with the 25-year-old responding with a heart gesture.

Forest are considering legal action over Tottenham's interest, looking at whether a specific confidentiality agreement in Gibbs-White's £60m release clause has been breached.

Speaking after the goalless draw with Monaco, defender Ola Aina said Gibbs-White, who was taken off at half-time, was "keeping it professional".

He told Sky Sports: "Morgan is a professional. I don't really know the ins and outs of that, but he was here today, he was playing, training with us, staying fit as normal."

"At the end of the day we're all professionals. We've got a job to do and that's what Morgan's doing right now, keeping it professional."
