The Three Lions berth was deserved, following five goals and 10 assists in the Forest midfield in last season s Premier League, and an assist in the second game of the top flight this term.
Unsurprisingly, the Englishman has the eyes of some big sides on him. He has previously been linked with Tottenham, but , an even bigger side in the form of Manchester City are after Gibbs-White.
It s said they are keeping close tabs on him and have been compiling a detailed dossier .
That s because the midfielder has some huge admirers on City s scouting team. At times in the past, it would have been unheard of for City to be courting a Forest player, but that they are shows just how impressive Gibbs-White has been of late.
But Forest are eager to keep hold of their star, and are willing to splash the cash to ensure he stays put.
Indeed, the HITC report states the seventh-placed Premier League outfit are ready to hold talks with Gibbs-White over a new contract.
