Nottingham Forest are taking on Monaco in a pre-season friendly on Saturday afternoon and all Tottenham eyes were on the squad list and whether a certain player would be on it.

Spurs are locked in talks over a deal to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Forest, with Forest threatening legal action over a £60million approach from Tottenham to sign the 25-year-old.

Forest allege that Spurs offered the exact amount to trigger the release clause of the England international, which was supposed to be confidential, and they have written to both Spurs and the player's agent, threatening legal action.

Tottenham remain hopeful that a deal will get over the line, given they have met the release clause, but the saga, which emerged more than a week ago when Spurs thought they had got their man, is rumbling on.
