SPEAKING ON THE LATEST EDITION OF FOOTBALL INSIDER’S INSIDE TRACK PODCAST, SENIOR CORRESPONDENT PETE O’ROURKE REVEALED WHAT SOURCES HAVE SAID ABOUT THE 25-YEAR-OLD’S FUTURE AFTER FOREST THREATENED SPURS WITH LEGAL ACTION. THE ATTACKING MIDFIELDER WAS ORIGINALLY SET TO UNDERGO A MEDICAL AT SPURS’ TRAINING GROUND LAST WEEK AFTER AGREEING TO THE MOVE, BEFORE FOREST PUT THE BRAKES ON.
FOREST ACCUSED TOTTENHAM OF MAKING AN ILLEGAL APPROACH TO GIBBS-WHITE, HAVING NEVER GIVEN PERMISSION FOR THE TALKS, AND THREATENED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AS A RESULT. AS FAR AS NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO’S SIDE ARE CONCERNED, THAT DEAL IS NOW OFF, BUT THERE IS A GROWING FEELING THAT THE CURRENT PROTESTS ARE ONLY DELAYING THE INEVITABLE.
FOOTBALL INSIDER EXCLUSIVELY REVEALED ON 15 JULY THAT GIBBS-WHITE IS VERY LIKELY TO JOIN TOTTENHAM WHEN THE DUST SETTLES AND A NEW AGREEMENT CAN BE FOUND.
