He has flourished at Forest, proving those who questioned a price tag which could rise to £42m wrong, to earn his first senior England cap against Ireland on Saturday. Nuno prefers not to heap praise on individuals so when asked about the new England man on Thursday he pivoted to praising all of Forest's internationals during the break but, tellingly, he expects Gibbs-White to improve after his time with the Three Lions. Some could view it as a bit of psychology - but it is Nuno's way of continuing to push a player he has helped mould over the last seven years. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate></div></body>
