Club record signing Morgan Gibbs-White is being “pushed hard” to get even better after finding form for Nottingham Forest.
There is a question mark over the 22-year-old’s fitness ahead of Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Wolverhampton Wanderers, given he missed the weekend’s FA Cup defeat at Blackpool with a recurrence of a calf problem. But regardless of whether or not he faces his former club, Reds head coach Steve Cooper believes there is much more to come from the summer signing.
Forest splashed out an initial £25 million to secure Gibbs-White’s services in August, with the potential for that to rise to £42m if certain add-ons are met. There is no evidence he feels the weight of that fee, however, with Cooper joking, “he certainly doesn’t come to training with a price tag above his head”.
