Derby sign Everton teenager Armstrong on loan

Harrison Armstrong has also featured for Everton's Under-21 side in the EFL Trophy and Premier League 2 this season

Championship strugglers Derby County have signed teenage Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 18-year-old emerged from the Toffees' youth ranks to make his Premier League debut in August last year and has gone on to make a further five first-team appearances for the Merseyside club.

The England Under-18 international's move to Pride Park comes on the same day that he signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract - with a further 12-month option - with Everton.

"Getting the chance to play for the first-team this season has been great and I just want to push on and reach more," Armstrong told the Everton website.

"I now have an opportunity at a really good club like Derby to learn and hopefully do well for them and I'm looking forward to it."
