Forest to bid £40m for Everton teenager Armstrong

Chief football writer Published 29 August 2026, 12:28 BST Updated 31 minutes ago Nottingham Forest have launched an ambitious bid to sign Everton 's teenage midfielder Harrison Armstrong.

Forest are keen to strengthen before the end of the transfer window and, as reported by The Athletic, are preparing to offer £40m plus a potential sell-on clause to clinch a deal for Armstrong.

It would be a major surprise should Everton sanction a deal, but there is hope at Forest that they can pull off the move to prise away the elegant England under-19 star, who is regarded as having a big future ahead of him.
