Tottenham had decided to trigger Gibbs-White's release clause, but the transfer has been put on hold after Forest wrote a letter of complaint to the Premier League. Forest are suggesting that Tottenham's actions amount to "tapping up," which could cause the deal to collapse.

Nottingham Forest are in need of attacking reinforcements, following the departure of Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United for £52 million. Gibbs-White's move could be a significant boost for Tottenham, but Forest are determined to keep him.

According to O'Hara, Gibbs-White should consider suing Nottingham Forest, refusing to train, and seeking help from the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA). O'Hara believes that Forest's actions are "disgusting" and that Gibbs-White has the right to pursue his transfer.

O'Hara also criticized Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, saying that he has made a "stinker" of the situation. He believes that Forest will lose Gibbs-White for £60 million because he has performed better than expected.

Nottingham Forest have no intention of backing down from their legal battle with Tottenham, despite the potential consequences for their team.
