Morgan Gibbs-White and Nottingham Forest are dreaming big after a flying start to the season... the in-form midfielder has more important concerns than angry Wolves fans, writes TOM COLLOMOSSE

Morgan Gibbs-White is routinely barracked when he returns to Molineux but the Nottingham Forest star now has far bigger things to worry about than a few thousand angry Wolves fans. There was widespread surprise in summer 2022 when Forest paid an initial £25million, rising to a possible £42.5m, for a player who was unproven in the Premier League. Not anymore.

Gibbs-White is one of the key players in a Forest side who have been the feelgood story of the season. Reviving memories of the Brian Clough era, Forest have won at Anfield and Old Trafford, beaten Tottenham and Aston Villa, and drawn with Chelsea. Ahead of Monday’s trip to Molineux, Forest are third in the table and firmly on course for European football next season – perhaps even in the Champions League.

The flip side, however, is that teams who surpass expectations will always have wealthier clubs becoming interested in their players. Gibbs-White is no different and he will certainly be aware of his admirers. Mail Sport understands Liverpool are one of several clubs with a keen interest in Gibbs-White’s progress. Newcastle and Aston Villa also made tentative enquiries last summer and Manchester City were aware of Gibbs-White, who is from Staffordshire, even before he made his senior debut as a 16-year-old, Forest’s priority is to agree a new contract with him.
