Everton call off Harrison Armstrong's transfer to Nottingham Forest after fan backlash
BBC Sport reports that Everton have reversed their decision to sell young midfielder Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest, following strong opposition from their supporters.
Fan Outcry Leads to U-Turn
Forest had bid a substantial £40m, plus a potential sell-on clause, for the 19-year-old England Under-19 international. However, the proposed transfer sparked a passionate reaction from Everton fans. During Saturday's draw at Bournemouth, supporters sang Armstrong's name and warned of potential unrest if the sale went through.
Club Board Unanimously Supports Fans
As a result, the Everton board has unanimously decided to keep Armstrong at the club, ending any immediate plans for his departure.
