England boss Gareth Southgate admits he has been watching Nottingham Forest ace Morgan Gibbs-White.

The attacking midfielder, who signed from Wolves in the summer, has lit up the Premier League for the newly promoted side.

Gibbs-White is a significant reason why Forest may manage to stay up this season.

"We like Morgan, we think he's progressing well," Southgate stated, per Nottinghamshire Live.

“He's been a player that Coops (Cooper) had at Under-17s so he has always shown great belief in him.

"He had a spell where the opportunity was more difficult. He had a loan (at Swansea City), got called back and couldn't get into Wolves' team so he missed a little period of development.

"He's having a good season at Forest. We think it's a little bit early for him with us but we're watching him closely."
