Nottingham Forest Offer for Everton Midfielder Harrison Armstrong Confirmed

The reported £40m-plus proposal forces Everton to decide whether to sell a homegrown starter, risking increased fan unrest ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline.

Overview

  • Everton manager David Moyes confirmed on Saturday that the club has received an offer from Nottingham Forest for 19-year-old Harrison Armstrong.
  • Reports from multiple outlets say the bid is worth about £40 million and includes potential future sell-on provisions, though Everton has not disclosed whether it will accept.
  • Armstrong is an Everton academy graduate with more than 20 senior appearances this season, recent starting minutes and a contract reported to run until summer 2028.
  • Supporters protested during Everton’s away match at Bournemouth and expressed strong opposition online, increasing pressure on the club’s board and leadership over any sale.
  • Negotiations are ongoing with the transfer window closing on September 1, a timeline that could force Everton to seek replacements quickly if they sell and may shape Forest’s final recruitment push.
