Preston North End supporters had a lot to say about Everton loanee Harrison Armstrong after yesterday’s win against Southampton.
Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong is spending the season on loan at Championship outfit Preston North End.
Preston fans have been blown away by Armstrong so far and David Moyes has clearly been really impressed too.
Moyes is considering recalling Armstrong in January with Idrissa Gana Gueye set to jet off to the Africa Cup of Nations.
The 18-year-old was in action against Southampton on Saturday afternoon and Preston fans were once again stunned by just how good he is.

Preston fans certain Harrison Armstrong will be an England international
After beating Southampton 2-0 at St Mary’s, Preston fans swarmed to social media to hail Everton loanee Armstrong.
“The way Armstrong plays he really reminds me of Bellingham. Composed, strong, powerful rubber, knows how to use his body and the way he glides across the pitch is very Bellingham-esque. What a signing he is proving to be,” @thedeepdaleway posted.
@fanpne added: “This Armstrong loan feels like when we had Pickford. We knew he would be England No1 and I have the same feeling Armstrong is destined to go to the same heights! Hope Everton don’t recall him in January like Sunderland did Pickford.”

@JonnyEllithorn explained: “Harrison-Armstrong will play for England senior side in the future, it is scary how good he is at 18, we have had some excellent loan players down the years but in my option he tops them all and is only going to develop and get better.”
@matty_1880 commented: “Harrison Armstrong is the most gifted footballer I have ever seen in a North End shirt.”
“Moment in the second half today (and he does this nonstop) where Armstrong charged back, was never favourite to the ball, bodied their man and then won a free kick. 18 years old… ridiculously good footballer. Half turns, passing through lines, the boy’s got it all,” @TCowey26 noted.
@ChrisGrogan_ admitted: “How the f— we got Armstrong on loan will forever be a mystery. He is one of the best players I’ve ever seen live.”
