Ola Aina has confirmed that Morgan Gibbs-White is maintaining his professionalism amid transfer speculations. Despite being linked with a move to Tottenham, Gibbs-White participated in Nottingham Forest's pre-season game against Monaco. The transfer talks reportedly hit a snag due to issues with his release clause. During the match, Gibbs-White nearly scored with a header from Callum Hudson-Odoi's corner.

Last season, Gibbs-White achieved personal bests by scoring seven goals and providing eight assists in the Premier League. His contributions helped Nottingham Forest finish just one point shy of the Champions League spots. Defender Ola Aina mentioned he is unaware of the specifics regarding Gibbs-White's potential transfer but assured that the midfielder remains committed to Forest for now.

"He's keeping it professional, I don't know the ins and outs of that," Aina told Sky Sports. "He was here today, playing, and he's training, keeping fit as normal. At the end of the day, we're all professionals—we've got a job to do and that's what Morgan is doing right now. He's keeping it professional."

In other team news, Taiwo Awoniyi made his comeback by starting in the second half against Monaco. The striker had been sidelined since May 11 due to a ruptured intestine that required surgery and led to an induced coma. His return marks a significant step forward for both him and Nottingham Forest as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The focus remains on maintaining fitness and readiness among players like Gibbs-White and Awoniyi as Nottingham Forest continues its pre-season preparations. While transfer rumours swirl around some players, their commitment to training and match participation underscores their dedication to their current club responsibilities.
