MGW transfer hope
Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper is confident the significant price tag is not weighing heavily on the shoulders of club record signing Morgan Gibbs-White.

Gibbs-White notched an assist in that match, setting up Emmanuel Dennis’ opener, in what was arguably his best performance so far in the Garibaldi. But Cooper believes he will go on to have an even greater impact in games.
