Everton fans will be excited to see Harrison Armstrong return to the club over the summer.

David Moyes has been able to get a fine tune out of the squad he inherited back in January from Sean Dyche.

The work which has gone on at Finch Farm cannot be underestimated, with Everton looking like a completely different side to what they did earlier in the year.

Everton have been linked with Kevin De Bruyne in what would be a truly outrageous piece of summer transfer business.

Regardless of how likely that is, it is expected to be a busy summer at Finch Farm.

The Friedkins are ready to back Moyes in the summer with a significant transfer budget to put his stamp on the club.

But the summer will also mark the return of the exciting young talent, Armstrong.

Derby County’s nickname for Everton’s Harrison Armstrong

Since joining on loan in January, Armstrong has really impressed at Derby County in his first few months at the club.

The youngster has taken absolutely no time to establish himself in the Championship as a starting midfielder.

Taking to Instagram after their victory on Easter Monday, Armstrong shared a number of photos from the win on the road against West Brom.

‘Huge 3 points on the road, unreal support away from home! UTR,’ he said.

But it was what some of his teammates were replying in the comments which really spoke volumes.

Championship clubs are keen to sign Armstrong over the summer, with the 18-year-old looking set for another loan exit.

If it needed emphasis any further, the comments from his Derby teammates show just how important he is becoming to the side at Pride Park.

Having picked up the nickname Bruce Wayne [Batman], the 18-year-old really is becoming a superhero for the Rams.

Harrison Armstrong has settled into men’s football

Derby manager John Eustace has hailed Armstrong’s displays since he landed at the club on loan.

And after his showing against West Brom on Monday, it is no surprise to see how impressed Derby staff, players and fans are with the midfielder.

• 90 minutes played
• 76% pass accuracy
• 2 clearances
• 3 interceptions
• 38 touches

It would not be hard to imagine Derby would be keen to bring Armstrong back for the new season.

However, with Derby battling the drop, the Rams will likely have to remain a Championship club to be in the running to sign Armstrong on loan again.
