Morgan Gibbs-White is a real talent and the Nottingham Forest player has won four caps under Thomas Tuchel, who is clearly an admirer of his quality.

The problem for Gibbs-White may come with competition for places in the areas he likes, especially with Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Phil Foden not currently in England's squad and Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers producing excellence.

This is no slight on Gibbs-White, who has been outstanding at Forest. Tottenham Hotspur were left desperately disappointed in the summer when Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis persuaded him to stay by offering an improved contract.

It is simply that, when the final numbers take shape, Gibbs-White could be in an area where there are just too many names to fit into a limited pot.

Gibbs-White has the ability to be in that shake-up, although he may hope for some stability at the City Ground to make that happen.
