STILL A BIT OF ALL WHITE

Star Morgan's the main man for Nuno despite parading £67.5m new boys

- 

NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO has splashed more than £100m on new signings with James McAtee and Omari Hutchinson introduced before kickoff yesterday.

But his best piece of business this summer could be keeping hold of Morgan Gibbs-White.

Nottingham Forest reduced Brentford to rubble during the first half en route to claiming their first-opening day win in seven years.

Chris Wood scored twice to sandwich a delightful header from debutant winger Dan Ndoye to make it 3-0 at the break.

It was the least that Nuno’s men deserved against a Bees side which wobbled alarmingly in Keith Andrews’ first game in charge.

But the real star of the show was Gibbs-White, who turned in a man-of-the-match display to show once again what a mercurial talent he is.

Tottenham were sniffing around him this summer, but Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis broke the bank to hand his master craftsman a lucrative new three-year deal. And with good reason.
