Linked with Benfica, Tyrique George takes on a new challenge in his career | OneFootball

Tyrique George — who was on Benfica’s wish list — has found a new direction in his career. According to reports, on the last day of the transfer window, the 19-year-old English winger left Chelsea for Everton, which secured a solution for the absence of one of its stars.

As reported by the newspaper A Bola, the 19-year-old winger, who was ultimately ruled out by Benfica due to the imminent return of Dodi Lukebakio, will wear the Toffees’ shirt until the end of the season, on loan from the London club. Furthermore, the same source explains that the deal includes a purchase option clause, which can be triggered in the summer.

Tyrique George is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the Premier League, having already made significant appearances for Chelsea’s first team. In addition, the 19-year-old winger is a regular name on the England U-20 national team call-up list.

Linked with Benfica, the young Englishman hopes to get more minutes with the Liverpool-based team, which was forced to enter the market after losing its star player, Jack Grealish, for an extended period due to a serious injury. George also attracted interest from another Premier League club, but chose to move to Everton.

This season, wearing Chelsea’s shirt, Tyrique George — valued at 22 million euros — played a total of 11 official matches: four in the Premier League, four in the Champions League, and three in the English League Cup. In the 492 minutes he spent on the pitch, the 19-year-old recorded three goals and one assist.
