WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Forest's Gibbs-White has been on top form for Nuno Espirito Santo's side as they battle for Champions League qualification. As per <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14625769/Manchester-City-chase-Nottingham-Forest-Morgan-Gibbs-White.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a>, City have shown interest in Gibbs-White as a replacement for De Bruyne, and they also lead the race to sign the England international, with Liverpool and Manchester United also interested.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE
