Forest to bid £40m for Everton teenager Armstrong

Nottingham Forest have submitted a significant bid to secure the services of Everton's young midfielder, Harrison Armstrong. The Championship club seeks to bolster their squad ahead of the transfer deadline, with reported figures of £40 million and a potential sell-on clause. This unexpected move aims to attract the promising 19-year-old, an England under-19 star known for his outstanding talent.

In his current form, Armstrong has contributed 23 appearances for Everton, including a notable start in their recent 2-0 Premier League triumph over Crystal Palace.

Everton's stance on the potential transfer remains unknown, sparking frustration among their supporters. Manager David Moyes had expressed his desire to enhance the squad's quality, hoping the Friedkin Group, Everton's American owners, would support more acquisitions. Recently, midfielder Iliman Ndiaye has drawn attention from Manchester City, further complicating Forest's pursuit. The Forest faithful eagerly await the outcome of their ambitious bid for Armstrong.
