"I feel really sorry for homegrown English players at the moment," said former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock in the wake of Everton calling off Harrison Armstrong's move to Nottingham Forest. The Reds made a bid of £40m plus a potential sell-on clause for the 19-year-old, who signed his first professional contract with the Toffees in July 2024. "Ideally, if you're lucky, you go to the academy of the team you support as a young player," Warnock explained on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.
