Everton plans to promote Harrison Armstrong to save costs

Everton plans to promote Harrison Armstrong to the first team, potentially saving millions during the summer transfer window. Armstrong, who joined the club's academy at age five, made his first-team debut in August 2024. In February 2025, Armstrong signed a new contract until June 2028 and was loaned to Derby County for experience. He has impressed at Derby, scoring his first senior goal and showcasing his versatility in midfield. With key players set to leave, Everton faces a midfield rebuild.
