Everton have decided to retain Harrison Armstrong after fan outrage over a potential £40m move to Nottingham Forest. The backlash occurred during the Toffees' 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, where supporters warned of a 'riot' if Armstrong was sold. Manager David Moyes expressed a desire to keep the 19-year-old, emphasizing the importance of retaining key players. Meanwhile, the club is in talks with Manchester City to facilitate a return for Jack Grealish. The 30-year-old, who has one year left on his contract with City, had a successful loan season at Everton last year, winning the Premier League player-of-the-month award in August before his injury.
