Nottingham Forest captain Ryan Yates has had his say on Tottenham’s move to sign Morgan Gibbs-White.
Spurs this week submitted a £60m bid for Gibbs-White but Nottingham Forest believe their efforts to sign the midfielder amount to an illegal approach.
The transfer saga looks set to rumble on and, while Spurs still confident of a deal, the deal is on hold for now.
Yates has said: “I feel as though that, until something is done, until a player signs on the dotted line for another club, it is just speculation. I don’t know what more to say on the Morgan situation, because it has all happened so quickly.
“As a player, you just accept it is a business. I do not know the ins and outs of what has happened, because it all happened so quickly. Morgan is a fantastic player and somebody who has been hugely influential for us in the Premier League. But this is football.”

Arsenal are weighing up their next move after Sporting president Frederico Varandas said last night that they will not budge on their valuation of Viktor Gyokeres.
Gyokeres has gone on strike to force through his move to Arsenal but Sporting are holding out for £60.5million up front for a move to go through.
The Gunners are now considering their next move as they look to finally wrap up a deal to sign the elite-level striker that Mikel Arteta has been targeting.
In a fresh update on the situation, Fabrizio Romano has said: “Gyokeres feels betrayed. He feels there was a pact for him to leave for €60m plus €10m in add-ons. He does not feel that pact is being respected.
“Arsenal offered €65m up front, so even more than Sporting asked for, but Sporting did not accept because they want at least €70m.
“There is still a tense situation. Arsenal are still working on the deal.”
