Harrison Armstrong playing for Everton
Harrison Armstrong playing for Everton
The 19-year-old has emerged as a real favourite of David Moyes during the opening months of the 2026/27 season.
Armstrong has started all 10 of Everton's Premier League fixtures so far, racking up 862 minutes in the process.
The teenager will be keen to add goals and assists, having racked up just one in the former category.
But he brings so much more to the team, and has looked undroppable in the first few months of the campaign.
Now, what he is planning to do off the pitch suggests that Moyes has a future captain-in-waiting in his squad.
Harrison Armstrong actions show he's emerging as an Everton leader
You only have to hear how other members of the squad speak about Armstrong to see how loved he is in the team.
Often cited as the funniest player in the dressing room, but also as the player with the biggest future.
What makes it all the more lovely is that Armstrong is a home-grown talent, who grew up in Liverpool.
Armstrong has risen through the ranks, and enhanced his skills during loan spells with Derby County and Preston in the Championship.
Now, Armstrong is planning to give back to the club, as explained by Patrick Boyland in the Athletic.
According to Boyland's story, Armstrong will hold a question and answer session with Everton's academy prospects.
Players between the age of 15 and 18 will get the chance to quiz Armstrong on what it takes to make the grade from academy football to first-team regular.
It shows a great deal of maturity from a 19-year-old to take the time to do this, and real leadership as well.
The young academy players will be able to easily resonate with Armstrong, and it shows a lot about the youngster that he is willing to give back.
It's the sort of thing that could easily make him a captain for the Toffees one day.
Everton fans to thank for Armstrong breakthrough
It's crazy to think that we might not have been witnessing Armstrong's breakthrough were it not for the Toffees faithful.
Among the chaos of the transfer window, the Everton hierarchy really dropped the ball when it was reported they were willing to sell Armstrong to Nottingham Forest.
There was a huge backlash at the news, and eventually common sense prevailed, but were it not for the fans it probably wouldn't have.
Armstrong is a player with a huge ceiling, and hopefully he can keep reaching new heights as an Everton player.
