Derby County want Harrison Armstrong on loan once again from Everton after an impressive spell at Pride Park.
The 18-year-old joined the Rams in the winter transfer window temporarily until the end of the season and helped John Eustace’s team avoid relegation from the Championship.
Armstrong will return to Hill Dickinson Stadium soon, but Derby are interested in keeping the central midfielder for the upcoming campaign.
The England Under-18 international has impressed many with his qualities, and David Moyes has plans in place for him.

It’s been claimed that Moyes and the rest of the staff are huge admirers of the English youngster and believe he has massive potential.

Moyes perfect manager for Armstrong
Moyes has been impressive at Goodison Park since his return, leading the Toffees to a 13th-place finish in the Premier League.
The Scottish manager oversaw the development of players such as Mikel Arteta, Tim Cahill and Leighton Baines, among others, during his esteemed career as a head coach.
Under Sean Dyche, the Blues were under threat of relegation, but the 62-year-old turned things around instantly, and must now be backed next summer.
Everton will lose Abdoulaye Doucoure once his contract expires at the end of June, but they’ve confirmed Carlos Alcaraz’s permanent transfer.
Several players could potentially be free agents at the Toffees soon, and The Friedkin Group (TFG) should invest heavily in the upcoming campaign.
It would make sense for the Blues to include some of their youngsters in next season’s squad to add more depth.
Armstrong has shown he’s capable of handling himself in the Championship and now deserves an opportunity with the Merseyside outfit’s first team.
