Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has been compared to Manchester City star Jack Grealish by pundit Tim Sherwood.
The 23-year-old has been a key player for Steve Cooper's side since his arrival at the City Ground from Wolves last summer. Gibbs-White has scored five goals and registered seven assists during his debut season at the Reds.
His performances have played a key role in their successful survival bid with Forest securing their Premier League status for another season with a game to spare after beating Arsenal last weekend.

And in the aftermath of the Reds' huge win over the Gunners, which also handed Grealish's Man City the Premier League title, Sherwood has compared Gibbs-White to the Citizens' superstar.
“He takes the pressure off the defenders and he takes the ball. A bit like (Jack) Grealish when he takes the pressure off," the former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss told Premier League Productions:
“I think £40 million seemed like a lot of money, but I think by the time next season comes, and the fact they’ve stayed in the Premier League, then I think he will be a cheap signing.
“He has realised that Steve Cooper, someone he knew from the underage England groups, has put his arm around him. The head coach has made him the main man and he’s repaid him. He’s been brilliant this season.”
