The transfer of Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves to Nottingham Forest was almost "hijacked" by Premier League rivals Everton.
It is being reported that Everton were "pushing very hard" to "hijack" the deal last night (Thursday), matching the initial £25million up front fee that Forest had agreed with Wolves. Talks with Forest had progressed too far, though, and a move to the City Ground was virtually sealed.
That's according to the Telegraph, who also note Gibbs-White was keen to play for Cooper again and that was a deciding factor in his decision. The 22-year-old midfielder's arrival at Forest was confirmed on Friday morning.
