Forest to bid £40m for Everton teenager Armstrong

Nottingham Forest have made a substantial bid of £40 million to sign Everton's teenage midfielder, Harrison Armstrong. The club is hoping to bolster their squad before the end of the transfer window. According to The Athletic, Forest are willing to offer £40m plus a potential sell-on clause to secure a deal for Armstrong. The England Under-19 star, who is only 19 years old, has impressed with 23 appearances for Everton and started in their recent 2-0 Premier League win against Crystal Palace.

However, there is no guarantee that Everton will agree to sell, which could lead to frustration among the club's supporters. Manager David Moyes has also expressed his desire for more quality in the squad, expressing hope that Everton's American owners, the Friedkin Group, will provide the necessary backing for further transfers.

Recently, Everton's main creator, Iliman Ndiaye, has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City, prompting Forest to test their intentions regarding Armstrong.
