Following a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, Everton manager David Moyes addressed ongoing speculation regarding the future of 19-year-old Harrison Armstrong. Reports indicate that Nottingham Forest has submitted a bid in the region of £40 million for the young midfielder, who played the full 90 minutes in the recent match.

When asked about the potential transfer, Moyes maintained a cautious stance, stating that the sale would ultimately be a "club decision." While he acknowledged the existence of the offer, he declined to provide further details, noting that it was not the appropriate time for a deeper discussion. Moyes did express a personal preference for keeping the player at the club, though he has previously voiced concerns regarding the team's overall transfer activity during the current window.

The situation highlights a tension between the manager's desire to maintain squad stability and the club's potential financial considerations regarding high-value transfer offers. As of now, Everton has not confirmed whether they intend to accept the bid or negotiate further, leaving the player's status uncertain as the transfer window progresses.
