Chelsea have until the Monday evening deadline to finalise any last-minute incoming or outgoing transfers, following their dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Blues, under new head coach Liam Rosenior, overturned a 2-0 deficit with goals from Joao Pedro, Marc Cucurella, and Enzo Fernandez, showcasing the positive impact of Rosenior's appointment earlier this winter after Enzo Maresca's departure.
Everton Make Move for Chelsea Winger Tyrique George
According to Sky Sports, Everton have submitted a loan-to-buy offer for Chelsea winger Tyrique George, with ongoing talks between the two clubs. The 19-year-old is expected to leave Chelsea before the 7pm deadline on Monday, as his game time has diminished recently. Football Insider reports that Sunderland are also keen on the young talent, adding another layer to the transfer saga.
George's Career and Potential Departure
Tyrique George has spent his entire career at Chelsea, rising through the academy and becoming a regular at various youth levels. The England youth international made his first-team debut in August 2024 in a Europa Conference League match against Servette. Since then, he has made 37 appearances across all competitions, including 11 this season, contributing six goals. However, with his opportunities drying up, a move away from Stamford Bridge is now a realistic possibility.
Rosenior commented on George's situation, stating, "The honest answer is I don't know if he will leave. Tyrique is a player of immense potential who I've been aware of for a long time. He's been unfortunate with selection, but his attitude in training has been top class. A lot needs to come together for a transfer: the right interest, offer, and fit for the player. At the moment, I've had nothing concrete regarding Tyrique."
What a Move Could Mean for Everton
If the transfer goes through, Everton would view George as a valuable addition to bolster their attacking options. He would provide increased competition and depth in their forward line, offering a different dynamic under manager David Moyes. This potential move highlights Everton's strategy to strengthen their squad as they aim to improve their performance in the league.
Chelsea's decision to appoint Rosenior has proven beneficial so far, with the team showing resilience and momentum. Despite initial scepticism after Maresca's exit, Rosenior has adapted well, and the Blues will look to maintain their form as the season progresses.
