Everton weigh buying Tyrique George after loan

Everton FC are evaluating whether to activate the option-to-buy clause on Tyrique George after his season‑long loan from Chelsea FC. The clause’s financial terms have not been disclosed, but they may approximate the £22 million fee Everton paid for Fulham’s acquisition last summer.

The 20‑year‑old forward featured in 11 matches at Hill Dickinson Stadium. He earned only one start, but displayed moments of quality when coming off the bench.

The loan agreement includes the option that must be exercised before the summer transfer window closes. Everton’s decision will hinge on the player’s performance and the club’s budgetary considerations.

Securing George would give Everton additional depth in attack. For Chelsea FC, losing the prospect could affect their future squad planning.

Everton are expected to announce their choice in the coming weeks. The outcome will influence the club’s strategy ahead of the next Premier League campaign.
