Everton’s board unanimously decided the 19-year-old will stay after supporters warned of a riot over a proposed £40 million move.
- Everton stopped the potential sale of Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest following intense pressure from supporters. The club's owners, The Friedkin Group, confirmed the 19-year-old midfielder will remain at the club.
- Anger escalated Saturday during the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, where fans chanted against the proposed £40m transfer. Supporters at the Vitality Stadium warned there would be a 'riot on their hands' if the club sold the midfielder.
- Manager David Moyes made it clear he did not want the 19-year-old to leave, arguing the club cannot let their best players go. The academy product has made 24 appearances for Everton.

- Beyond this development, Everton are pursuing additional roster moves, including interest in bringing back forward Richarlison from Tottenham to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.
