Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper has heaped praise on Morgan Gibbs-White in an interview with Sky Sports.
The 22-year-old signed for the Reds in the summer for a club-record fee of £25 million.
A series of add-ons have been included in the deal and Forest could end up paying £42.5 million for the attacker.
Gibbs-White has claimed two assists since arriving at Forest, with his latest coming in Monday’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
He’s an exciting player and ever since promotion, he was identified as Cooper’s number one target.
The 42-year-old signed Gibbs-White in 2020/21 when he was at Swansea; although injury limited his game time.
After his latest outing, Cooper has piled the praise on the former Wolves youngster.
He told Sky Sports: “He is such a young player and there is always more to come from such a young player.
“This is probably his first regular run in the Premier League, he had it last year at Sheffield United. We tried to give it to him at Swansea the season before but he got injured.
“This is his first run at the Premier League. These young guys are experiencing the Premier League for the first time.
“It’s going to be a transitional period. We are really happy with Morgan, we know how good he is going to be for us. He got the assist with the free-kick and he will make a difference for us in games.”
Cooper heaped praise on Gibbs-White and there’s more to come
The Reds performer is settling in nicely.
He was signed by the club in the summer and fans were delighted to get the deal over the line.
Last season he scored 12 goals and laid on a further 10 in the way of assists as Sheffield United reached the play-offs.
Gibbs-White was incredible in the games against Forest and he scored three times against the Reds.
Now, he’s in the home dressing room and the Reds are delighted to have him on board.
Gibbs-White gives his all in every single game and he looks like becoming a really good player for the team in the future.
