Morgan Gibbs-White said he is "excited for what's to come" after extending his contract at Nottingham Forest until 2028.

The 25-year-old's future at the City Ground was uncertain after Tottenham tabled a £60m bid for the England international.

Forest considered legal action against the north London club over whether a confidentiality agreement in the midfielder's contract had been breached.

Gibbs-White has been a key player for Forest and has scored 18 goals and made 28 assists in 118 games, helping the club finish seventh last season and qualify for the Europa League.

He told the club's website: "I've felt at home at Forest from the moment I arrived. The support from the fans, my teammates, and everyone around the club has been unbelievable.

"I believe in what we're building here – and with the backing of Mr Marinakis and the enormous ambition he has, I want to be part of making something special. I’m excited for what’s to come."

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis added: "Morgan is a special player – not just in terms of talent, but character and mentality. He represents everything we want this football club to be: he is a winner, talented, ambitious, fearless, and proud.

"There was significant interest from various clubs, but we were determined to build our future with Morgan at the heart of it.  I promised our fans we would not only compete, but grow stronger and stronger every season.  Today is another big step in that journey."
