Everton have reached an agreement with Chelsea over the signing of Tyrique George on loan. The deal includes an option to buy at the end of the season.
“George has been given permission to travel for a medical and the deal includes an option to buy at the end of the season. The agreement is pending ratification on the Everton side,” reports The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the development with his signature “here we go” post on X.
The addition of George will boost Everton’s attacking options, especially in the aftermath of Jack Grealish’s injury. Grealish, diagnosed with a stress fracture in the foot, will probably miss the remainder of the season.
19-year-old George has scored three goals in 11 matches this season. He enjoyed a breakthrough season under Enzo Maresca in the 2024-25 campaign, making 26 appearances and scoring three goals.
The England U21 international had nearly agreed a £22million move to Fulham last summer but it broke down in the final hours of the window.

Chelsea fans seem gutted to see him getting moved on so that tells you he has something worth having?
I'd love Harry Wilson but we've probably left it too late in the day now, perhaps Moyes sees this as a better cheaper and marginally younger option this summer than Jack Grealish?

I am trying to remember a player with genuine speed David signed for us in his first stint as our manager?

Ben Godfrey, signed under Ancelotti, I believe, was also pacy, but alas, a very limited footballer.
Tyrique George sounds exciting- when we see him on the last day of the season with Everton safe and 5 minutes to play! ;-)

More than a little surprised that Chelsea are happy to include a sell-on clause.

Cahill was no slouch, Arteta too.
Lescott was pacy by centre-back standards. Oviedo wasn't slow.
Coleman?
Moyes didn't sign pace? Bollocks. Did we consistently have pace throughout the team? That's a different question...
14 Posted 02/02/2026 at 15:37:24
As mentioned, Mr George appears to be ready to go straight in if required. Hopefully this loan will give Dibling a good kick up the arse, which he definitely needs.

McNeil has found himself out of favour at Hill Dickinson Stadium and Palace are working on a deal to sign the attacker.
The 26-year-old has one assist in 14 Premier League appearances this season and Everton value him at about £20M.
A way out for both parties as McNeil's race is run at Everton. Value, we should except round £10M to £12M. By by, Dwight, how you ended up at Goodison after a season with no goals, no assists and your team relegated is a true mystery.
20 Posted 02/02/2026 at 16:09:09
If he does go to Palace, he would go with my very best wishes/
21 Posted 02/02/2026 at 16:11:42
By bye, Dwite, by bye.😁
22 Posted 02/02/2026 at 16:21:32
He arrived in 2022 and he was a decent player for where we were at back then and probably excelled as a Dyche player in 2023-24.
We've outgrown this type of player now and same for players like Vitaly Mykolenko, solid enough player during a dark spell for our club but we need to progress to the next level now.
23 Posted 02/02/2026 at 16:36:43
TFG and their crack recruitment team with 155 minutes to go have again failed to address our glaring needs. Full backs and a striker. Another young winger. Great. It's down the list and how many minutes will he get?
There seems to be more on outgoing than incoming, and that's deeply worrying with a thin squad. 20 million for McNeil? Well, to cancel the money we might spend on George so that Saint Daniel the Absent will have spent fuck all on us. Unlike Roma, where he actually goes to matches.
No usual Deadline Day LF. Not that many posts really. Sympton and symbol of a grey day.
24 Posted 02/02/2026 at 17:02:48
He can play as a striker as well, though I think he will play left wing. Whilst his end product in regards to assists isn't up to Grealish's standards, he will run at players, and cause havoc in the area and his shot is probably a lot better that Jack's.
25 Posted 02/02/2026 at 17:15:54
Your good news is welcome Izzy, but it doesn't help with right-back and striker.
26 Posted 02/02/2026 at 17:28:29
27 Posted 02/02/2026 at 17:34:51
Is it too optimistic to think they have a quality target or targets that they just can't get in January?
Know their was an immediate need with grealish getting injured, but we've been in need of full backs for years, Rafa was the last manager that tried to solve it, buying Patterson & myko, no ones bothered since !

The whole modern game lives on gossip, rumour and hopes and fears and if we now face fact checkers, then the fun will just vanish..

We can't even attract prem ready fullbacks and have 2 strikers that no other prem team would entertain.
Tfg haven't exactly splashed the cash.
So loans and out of contracts players are the new Everton.
Meanwhile Palace and Fulham outspend us.
Pretty underwhelming all round.
41 Posted 02/02/2026 at 19:27:42
If DM plays with a will to win, and injurys go are way, we can still kick on. The league is poor. I feel DM sends them out not to get beat. Leeds, Brighton for example.

The summer window -with statutory scope to spend should be much more exciting. It better be !

If DM plays to win our games in future. I think you will see an almighty shift from the fan base as Everyone will stand right behind him Even when he loses.
The ball is in his court
51 Posted 02/02/2026 at 19:57:20
They thought they were buying Danny oNeill.
52 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:00:48
53 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:05:46
I get we've probably tried to get a few and hast worked for whatever reason, but it should now be a priority to solve RB long term, and LB competition.
54 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:09:36
Total agree. That's what I was trying to say. Kick on if he goes positive.
55 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:15:52
If DM goes more positive and stops being negative, why carnt they kick on. Win more.
Othe posts got the meaning. You ok.
56 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:24:45
Thought not.
Fuck off you useless twats
57 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:27:13
Mcneil won't be scoring against us he's only gone on loan.
I thought it was a done deal, but apparently bbc saying palace taking him on loan.
58 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:30:11
59 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:34:17
60 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:43:18
Correct. And I do hope they take it.
61 Posted 02/02/2026 at 20:54:32
He hasn't gone yet.
62 Posted 02/02/2026 at 21:15:49
I can't see anything saying it's done.
63 Posted 02/02/2026 at 21:17:34
64 Posted 02/02/2026 at 21:21:35
Danny is probably quicker than Dwight?

69 Posted 03/02/2026 at 03:36:53
All issues addressed. We move on.
70 Posted 03/02/2026 at 05:01:11
71 Posted 03/02/2026 at 18:41:34
I agree. Don't see Moyes playing him much. Maybe for 10 minutes when we are chasing the game, though I must say I was impressed with the raft of changes he made against Brighton.
Maybe he is changing his spots...
72 Posted 03/02/2026 at 19:17:03
He isn't going to be match fit, he is going to be raw, he is going to show flashes of great play, and he is going to make mistakes.
He isn't going to play 90 minutes from the off, but he is here to impress for a chance.
I can't wait to see him.
73 Posted 03/02/2026 at 22:58:02
He's also played in the same England Youth team as Tyler Dibling, which might pay dividends, but who knows?
The pair of them are so very, very young though and, if they are devoted to achieving success, they won't be "putting it about" on the razz with their newfound wealth, I hope, but who are their support people, because very young adults generally need such support?
I don't seek names and addresses, but have they brought any of their family to our great city and its people, or are they in sumptuous digs, feeling isolated when not training or playing?
