Nottingham Forest's new number 10, Morgan Gibbs-White, has said Steve Cooper was the "biggest influence" in his decision to join the club.
Gibbs-White was confirmed as Forest's 16th signing of the summer when he arrived from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, signing a five-year deal at the City Ground. Cooper was keen to secure the midfielder's services having been a fan of his talent after coaching him at both Swansea City and with England's Under-17s.
He will wear the number ten shirt for the first time in his career and he has fulfilled a prediction made by supporters when Forest's squad numbers were released earlier this month. Speaking to Forest TV, he said: "The number ten has been my favourite since I was a little kid and this is the first time I’ve managed to wear it in my career, so I can’t wait to showcase it now."
