Tyrique George's move to Everton made permanent | OneFootball

Everton have announced that Tyrique George has signed for the club on a permanent basis.

The 20-year-old initially joined the Toffees on loan from Chelsea midway through the 2025/26 season, going on to feature 11 times for the Merseyside outfit.

Everton fans can expect to see much more of the Cobham academy product next season after he completed a permanent switch for an undisclosed fee, reported to be worth a total of £24 million with £18 million of that to be paid up front while Chelsea will get a 15% sell-on fee.

"I’m so happy to sign for Everton," the England youth international said about the move. "I loved my time here on loan last season, so as soon as I knew it was a possibility to return, that's always what I wanted.

"This is a massive club. I've seen for myself how passionate the fans are about Everton, how much it means to them – and I want to put on good performances, score goals, and create goals to make them happy.

"The fans and the boys in the changing room made me feel welcome as soon as I arrived in February. It's a strong group that's only going to get better.

"I'm excited for what is ahead for us as a group and club."

In total, George featured 37 times for Chelsea during his time with the London side, scoring six goals and making six assists.
