The final 48 hours at Tottenham were absolutely desperate, but that’s not just about their dramatic moves for Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs White after confirming Mohamed Kudus’ arrival from West Ham.

The Spurs discussed another potential deal.
Spurs announced the signature of Kudus on Thursday evening in a deal worth £55 million, making Ghana’s versatile Ghana has been the first player since Scott Parker in 2011 to trade West Ham for Lily White.
The 24-year-old had already promised to excite supporters on the field when speaking in his first interview as a Tottenham player, and there was real hope that Gibbs White would soon follow Kudus to the N17.

Tottenham’s talks for the England international accelerated rapidly on Thursday, with reliable media sources reporting that the 25-year-old all joined Thomas Frank’s side and medical care was scheduled for Friday (Fabrizio Romano).
However, with an absolutely amazing turn of events, Forest is halting the deal and considering legal action against the Spurs.
Gibbs-White movements are still possible, but there is a prediction that forests will not be able to block them completely, but this transfer will at least be delayed, as originally reported by Sky Sports’ Rob Dorsett.
As Tottenham now supports the legal story surrounding a potential deal with Gibbs White, the club remains in the market for other transfer targets and maintains serious interest in Brentford striker Yoan Wissa.

Reports earlier this week claim Tottenham has contacted Whissa representatives and that Talksport journalist Alex Crook is sharing updates on the situation.
Crook says Whissa is eager to reunite with Frank at the Spurs and oppose the centre of Congo “pushes” the exit from Gtech Community Stadium as he wants a move that will attract attention.
The 28-year-old now scores 20 goals in all competitions last season, which motivated the Brentford chief to slap a £50 million price tag on his head.
Brentford has already lost several important men this summer, including Frank. Christian Norgaard has joined Arsenal and Man United and has messed up Brian Mbeumo’s contract.
The bees will likely delve into the heels when it comes to having yet another “exceptional player” leave, but Wissa will come as a great potential alternative to Richarrison, who is reportedly attracting attention from Brazil.
