Sky Sports News can reveal that Nottingham Forest have written to both Tottenham and the agent of Morgan Gibbs-White, threatening legal action over what they believe was an unlawful approach for the player, and a breach of confidentiality laid out in the player’s contract. Sky Sports News has been told that the letters put both parties “on legal notice”, reminding them of their obligations and spelling out how Forest believe both Spurs and Gibbs-White’s representatives have breached the Premier League rules, and the terms of the player’s contract. Tottenham haven’t commented publicly, but it’s understood they believe they have done nothing wrong, and they retain an interest in signing the midfielder, after being unsuccessful with a £60m bid. Far from backing down on this issue, Forest have made it clear that, even though they have taken no punitive action so far, they are prepared to do so in the future – both via the Premier League and the law courts. Even though it is relatively commonplace for clubs to sound-out their would-be transfer targets in advance, “tapping up” (or any meaningful negotiation) is banned under the Premier League rules. Rule T.3 in the Premier League handbook says a buying club must get written permission from the selling club before approaching any player, or they face disciplinary action.
