Nottingham Forest has officially opened negotiations with Everton by submitting an impressive package structured around “£40 million plus add-ons” for 19-year-old midfielder Harrison Armstrong.
The proposed deal also includes prospective “future sell-on provisions” as Forest push to finalize the agreement quickly.
Forest shift transfer focus
The East Midlands club turned their attention directly to the Everton academy graduate after encountering frustration in earlier transfer pursuits.
Reports confirm Forest launched this move “after failing in their efforts to land Tottenham Hotspur duo Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr.”
Strategic fit at city ground
Forest view Armstrong as a high-potential talent who can immediately strengthen their midfield area following recent roster shifts. Key club figures believe the teenager has “enormous potential and believe he could follow a similar path to Elliot Anderson.”
Furthermore, decision makers view his overall “technical ability, energy and versatility as a strong fit for midfield.”
Everton weighing their options
Everton are currently deliberating over the hefty proposal for a player who has registered 22 senior appearances. The recent arrival of Christian Norgaard has made the Toffees open to discussions and reports state “Armstrong is open to the move.”
Negotiations remain active between both Premier League clubs.
