      The 22-year-old has started both Premier League games for Wolves this season.
      According to The Athletic, Forest had a £35m bid rejected earlier this month before submitting a new offer worth £44.5m including add-ons.

      He has previously been on loan to Swansea and Sheffield United to earn more game time.

      But Steve Cooper’s side have not been intent to rest on their laurels, and have pressed on with trying to sign even more players.

      Cooper is familiar with Gibbs-White, having managed him when England won the Under-17 World Cup in 2017 and while he was on loan at Swansea.

      Everton also made an approach for Gibbs-White earlier in the summer but saw a £20m offer rejected.
      The move means Forest will have now made a whopping 16 signings so far.
      The club had already spent more than £100m on new talent, but the deal for Gibbs-White will take their spending close to £150m.
      Astonishingly, Forest may not even be done there, with reports linking them with moves for Brighton’s Neal Maupay, former Arsenal target Houssem Aouar and Frankfurt midfielder Djibril Sow.

      Previous record-signing Taiwo Awoniyi netted a scrappy goal, while heroics from Manchester United loanee Dean Henderson – including saving a Declan Rice penalty – ensured Forest kept a clean sheet. More
