Nottingham Forest have had a pretty chaotic few weeks with the saga involving Morgan Gibbs-White and Tottenham Hotspur.
Nottingham Forest have blocked Morgan Gibbs-White from joining Tottenham Hotspur as they believe he was illegally approached.
It’s now being reported that Evangelos Marinakis is hopeful that Manchester City will enter the race for Gibbs-White.
Marinakis would prefer his captain to join City as he believes they’re a higher calibre club, so with all that said, there is still a belief he could leave.
Forest are therefore eyeing Jacob Ramsey as Gibbs-White’s replacement and now a new name has emerged as a potential successor.
Nottingham Forest fans have a lot to say about the fresh rumour.

Nottingham Forest fans react to Christopher Nkunku interest
According to Simon Phillips’s substack, Nottingham Forest are now showing an interest in Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku.
It’s fair to say, that potential signing has really excited supporters.
Simply said: “Now we are talking.”
“Perfect gibbs-white replacement right there,” @igillen227 commented.
@nadavnffc added: “Genuinely I’ve been fantasizing about this signing for a year plus, couldn’t be more perfect IMO.”
“If we sign Nkunku that would mean mgw is off I’m sure. But what a replacement,” @Ben113791721846 admitted.
@GameOfGamesGuy said: Nothing would make me more happier than us grabbing this baller.”
“Would be class,” @joel_francis363 noted.
Thierry Henry really rates Nkunku
Nkunku’s best spell of his career came at RB Leipzig.
The France international enjoyed a sensational four-year spell at the Bundesliga giants, earning praise from the likes of Thierry Henry.
“Yes I do love watching him,” Henry admitted. “Goals and assists. He is just having fun this season. But he is adding goals this year.”
Nkunku registered an incredible 126 goal involvements, prompting Chelsea to fork out £52m to sign him.
- 172 appearances
- 70 goals
- 56 assists
The 27-year-old has struggled to replicate that same form in West London, although, injuries haven’t helped.
