EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee
Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and Gavin Buckland on Royal Blue Podcast to tackle the big January question: should Everton recall 18-year‑old midfielder Harrison Armstrong from his Preston North End loan?
With the Blues’ squad stretched and AFCON likely to sideline key options for up to a month, the panel weigh-up the pros and cons — immediate depth, energy and home‑grown minutes at Hill Dickinson Stadium versus consistent game time, pressure management and long‑term development in the Championship.
They also assess what a recall would mean for Preston and Everton’s wider January plans. Have your say in the comments and subscribe for more Royal Blue.
