Nottingham Forest bid £40m for Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong

Nottingham Forest has formally submitted an ambitious bid to acquire Everton’s teenage midfielder Harrison Armstrong, a move that could reshape the club’s midfield options ahead of the upcoming season. The 18‑year‑old, who has impressed in the Premier League with his vision and passing accuracy, has attracted interest from several clubs, but Forest’s offer is said to be the most substantial and includes a transfer fee that reportedly exceeds the club’s current valuation of the player.

Everton’s management has not yet responded to the bid, and the player’s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2025‑26 season, giving both clubs flexibility in negotiations. If the deal is completed, Armstrong would join Forest’s squad as part of the club’s broader strategy to blend youthful talent with experienced players, a plan that has already seen the club make several high‑profile signings in recent transfer windows. The outcome of the negotiations will be closely monitored by both clubs’ supporters and the wider football community.
