Fulham agree deal to sign Chelsea youngster George | OneFootball

Fulham are on the verge of completing a permanent transfer for Chelsea forward Tyrique George, according to The Athletic.

They have had a relatively quiet summer in the market, but they are now working to bring in reinforcements before the transfer window closes.

Fulham are keen to build on their 11th-place finish in the 2024/25 campaign and are aiming for a stronger top-half push.

A package worth around £22 million has been agreed for the 19-year-old. The deal also includes a sell-on clause.

Fulham already have terms in place with George on a five-year contract. A medical is expected to take place soon.

George ready for a new challenge

The teenager enjoyed a breakthrough season under Enzo Maresca last year, playing 26 matches in all competitions. He scored three goals and became an important part of the squad.

He was also involved in every fixture of Chelsea’s Europa Conference League campaign, with the exception of the final against Real Betis.

His contributions highlighted his progress and growing reputation at the club.

George made his first appearance of the new season on Saturday when he came on as a substitute for Liam Delap. However, he was replaced later in the game by Andrey Santos.

One of his most notable appearances last term came in Chelsea’s controversial 2-0 win against Fulham, where his display further showed his quality.

With Fulham seeking to improve their squad depth, the youngster could be given the chance to secure more opportunties.
