Everton Consider Sending Harrison Armstrong Back to Preston as Window Nears Decision

Everton’s recovering squad could reopen his pathway back to Deepdale before the window closes.

Overview

Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom said he is preparing for Harrison Armstrong to return on loan this month and hopes to re-sign him before the deadline.
David Moyes has indicated he would like Armstrong to finish his loan at Preston if circumstances allow after recalling him on New Year’s Day to cover shortages.
Since the recall, the 18-year-old has featured for Everton as a substitute against Brentford, started in a draw with Wolves, and played 120 minutes in the FA Cup loss to Sunderland.
Armstrong had become a regular at Preston with 17 league appearances and five consecutive starts while the club sits fourth, three points off automatic promotion.
The final call is expected to hinge on Everton’s available personnel over the coming days as the January transfer window enters its final stretch.
