"Morgan wants the ball, he wants the responsibility, he wants to score goals, he wants to assist. When I told him that, when we are attacking, I wanted him to play in the pocket but, when we defend, he must defend on the side, it was not a problem for him."
"He deserves that. This is just my opinion, but if I can give that, I think he deserves it, because he has the quality, he has the qualities of a leader."
Morgan Gibbs-White scored a 15-minute hat-trick in Nottingham Forest's 4-1 victory over Burnley, moving the team five points clear of relegation. He has scored 12 Premier League goals this season, his highest in a league campaign. No Premier League player has scored more than Gibbs-White since March. Despite being left out of recent England squads, Nottingham Forest's boss Vitor Pereira believes Gibbs-White deserves a spot in the World Cup squad due to his leadership qualities and performance under pressure.
