Morgan Gibbs-White has posted a message on social media amid continued speculation linking the Nottingham Forest star to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 25-year-old midfielder is now with his Forest teammates in Portugal after originally not flying out with the squad earlier this week due to personal matters. Nuno Espirito Santo's side flew to Portugal on Monday for their pre-season tour, with friendlies against Fulham on Saturday, July 26 and Estoril on Wednesday, July 30 pencilled in.
The former Wolves man has been at the centre of a transfer saga involving Tottenham this summer, with the Lilywhites making an approach earlier this month which triggered the £60million release clause in the midfielder's contract. Forest are claiming that an illegal approach was made, however, and believe the confidential nature of that clause was breached.
Forest claim Tottenham submitted a bid worth the exact amount required to trigger the release clause. While the move is now ensnared in legal matters between the two clubs, it's believed both Tottenham and Gibbs-White still want the move to happen but it's seen as a delicate situation.
Amid the constant speculation, Gibbs-White posted on Instagram on Thursday. Tagging in clothing brand Harvey Nichols, as well as Harvey Nichols Menswear, the England international shared a video of himself in a number of the brand's pieces. "My High Summer Edit with @harveynichols @harveynicholsmen #ad," Gibbs-White wrote.

Gibbs-White started for his current side in Saturday's pre-season friendly against Monaco, which was on the same day Tottenham beat Reading 2-0. All eyes will now be on if the attacking midfielder features against Fulham this Saturday.
"You know me well so I will use what I've always said and that is that I won't speak about players from outside the club," Thomas Frank said when asked about the club's pursuit of Gibbs-White.
For Tottenham, the players and coaching staff have been hard at work this week as they prepare for two friendlies on Saturday. Spurs face Wycombe at 11am before a different group of players feature against Luton Town at 3pm.
