Fulham Reach Agreement to Sign Tyrique George from Chelsea

Fulham have agreed to sign 19-year-old Tyrique George from Chelsea for around £22 million. The deal includes a sell-on clause. George is heading to London for his medical after a transfer to AS Roma fell through. Reports have indicated that both AS Roma and Chelsea were open to a deal involving a sell-on clause for George, highlighting the negotiations around his potential future transfer earlier this summer.

TRANSFER COMPLETED AFTER ROMA MOVE FAILS

Fulham moved quickly after Tyrique George’s deal with Roma collapsed. The winger had interest from other European teams, but Fulham acted fast to secure him. Chelsea will receive £22 million upfront along with a sell-on clause. George will join Fulham’s first-team squad soon, after previously being targeted by AS Roma amid competition from several clubs.

GEORGE’S RISE AND FULHAM’S SITUATION

Tyrique George is one of the most exciting attackers in the country. Last season, he scored twice and provided one assist in eight Premier League appearances for Chelsea which showcases his potential. However, the competition for a spot in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad is intense, with players like Pedro Neto, Estevao Willian, and Jamie Gittens vying for position. Fulham are currently 14th in the league and have struggled in attack, scoring just 4 goals in 4 games.

WHAT COMES NEXT FOR FULHAM AND GEORGE?

George can help address Fulham’s goal-scoring troubles as the club is just 2 points above the relegation zone and 3 points behind 10th-placed West Ham. Fulham’s next match is against Aston Villa, who have been unbeaten in their first four league games. If registered in time, George could be available for Marco Silva’s team during this decisive phase of the season.
