"Everton are finalising an initial loan deal to sign Chelsea winger Tyrique George, with an option to buy included. The England Under-21 attacker is travelling to Merseyside to complete a medical before his proposed deadline-day move. George is understood to have attracted interest from another Premier League club and one in Europe. Chelsea have been open to selling the academy graduate since the summer because of limited first-team opportunities."
"Everton's move for George comes as England attacker Jack Grealish - who is on loan at the Toffees from Manchester City - "probably" needs surgery on a fractured foot and is set to be "out for the season", according to boss David Moyes. George has scored six goals and provided six assists in 37 appearances since breaking into Chelsea's first team last season."
Everton are closing on an initial loan deal for 19-year-old Chelsea winger Tyrique George, including an option to buy, with the player travelling to Merseyside for a medical ahead of a proposed deadline-day move. The England Under-21 attacker has attracted interest from another Premier League club and one in Europe. Chelsea have been open to selling the academy graduate because of limited first-team opportunities; Fulham previously agreed a £22m deal but later pulled out to pursue other wide options. Everton's approach coincides with Jack Grealish likely needing surgery on a fractured foot and being expected to miss the season. George has six goals and six assists in 37 appearances.
