A busy summer at the City Ground saw Forest sign 16 players, including the 22-year-old.
Most of the summer has been spent by Forest attempting to sign Gibbs-White, who graduated from the Wolves school.

Wolves, though, are still working to restructure Lage’s team. Thus it seemed expected that Forest would redouble its efforts to recruit him.
Forest will pay a £25 million initial cost and possible add-ons worth up to £17 million.
