Everton cancels Harrison Armstrong transfer following fan protests

Everton Nottingham Forest Harrison Armstrong Premier League football transfer

Everton ownership has withdrawn from a deal to sell 19-year-old midfielder Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest following intense backlash from supporters. Nottingham Forest had reportedly reached an agreement for a transfer valued at approximately £35 million (around €41 million), and Everton had even provided written confirmation of the deal.

The situation shifted during Everton's match against Bournemouth, where fans protested the potential sale of the academy graduate. Supporters threatened a revolt, citing Armstrong's long history with the club since joining at age five.

Following the match, manager David Moyes acknowledged the importance of considering fan sentiment. Everton's leadership, including owner Dan Friedkin, reviewed the agreement overnight and ultimately decided to cancel the transfer. Armstrong remains at Everton under a contract that runs until 2028.
