Everton have shown a late interest in signing Tyrique George on loan from Chelsea.
The Toffees suffered a massive setback with Jack Grealish ruled out for the rest of the season and the Manchester City loanee could undergo surgery to repair the stress fracture in his foot.
It could force the Blues into bringing in another forward in the remaining days of the transfer window.
“The Merseyside club expect to face significant competition from clubs in England and Europe for the 19-year-old winger, who has made only five starts for Chelsea this season,” reports The Athletic.
Fabrizio Romano recently reports that Everton have sent an official offer to Chelsea regarding loan deal with an option to buy the player.
"Everton send official loan with option to buy proposal to Chelsea for Tyrique George. #EFC currently leading the race for George as talks are underway with many clubs keen on Chelsea player," he posted on X.
George was close to leaving Chelsea to join Fulham on a permanent deal last summer, but his parent side is now exploring loan options instead.
In the pre-match press conference before facing Brighton, manager David Moyes said that while Everton are still looking at the market, "it's probably less likely than likely" that they will end up doing business.

That would be an interesting move…

Exactly what we need. Energy, craft, an eye for goals, assists and real work ethic. I could see him and Dewsbury-Hall linking really well.
All depends if he gets loads of offers. With him being free, there's going to be loads in for him, here & abroad. I believe he's from Wrexham, so might fancy coming back to the North-West.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall wasn't playing much Premier League football when we picked him up and that turned out okay.
Apparently, George isn't convinced about joining us. He's a London boy, probably wants to stay down there.

Can't say I know anything about him, hope hes got pace because we're desperate for it.

Just the little bit of negativity needed to welcome an "alleged" new signing.

And your answer to my question is...?
17 Posted 01/02/2026 at 19:11:21
Of course he's unlikely to start but a lot of players who don't feature immediately but go on to make an impact.
We've done nothing in this window and the first suggestion that we possibly have... you piss on someone's chips.

You must be a member of that rare club, a sensitive scouser.
My point was the manager won't start him
22 Posted 01/02/2026 at 19:31:47
Hes played nearly half of his career total of senior games in Europe, and has got twelve EPL, appearances in the bank, so, itll be interesting to see if we sign him and where he fits into the clubs plans.
It definitely looks like the club have selected a policy of signing young players with pedigree and potential, but if young players are going to improve then they definitely need to be playing regular football.
23 Posted 01/02/2026 at 19:35:17
Quick, good dribbler, goal scorer/creator, good size and ready to prove it. Been around England through the youth ages at U16 to u21.
24 Posted 01/02/2026 at 19:41:29
I knew that was your negative point from the off...that's why I commented.

26 Posted 01/02/2026 at 20:04:38
Aznou, Armstrong, Dibling and now George. All of them very exciting young players with massive potential. Hopefully the future is going to be brighter.
27 Posted 01/02/2026 at 20:05:18
We will see when the next few games team sheets come out.
All the best
28 Posted 01/02/2026 at 20:09:07
Ive said for years the only way we can hope to compete in the future is to build a 3-4 year project with young players.
This is not the manager to oversee that project
29 Posted 01/02/2026 at 20:36:58
I'm at that age. you're gonna have to give me a prompt mate.
30 Posted 01/02/2026 at 20:47:16
I know Im repeating myself but it does now look like the club have decided upon such a project John, so lets hope it begins to bear some fruit, and helps us to become a lot more enjoyable to watch in the near future.🤞
31 Posted 01/02/2026 at 21:10:00
It used to be my posts weren't long enough... now I'm fecking not quick enough.
There's no pleasing...

Needs patience from the fans as well.
On Moyes, he was my choice to come back last season, I knew there was little chance of relegation under him. He deserved this season on the back of that.
If we are to move forward with the project we will need a manager to trust them, allow them to express themselves.
Imo Moyes is not that manager mate.

35 Posted 01/02/2026 at 21:21:38
Im also hoping that bringing in a kid of a similar age might also help to bring Dibling, out of his shell because it doesnt look like the kid has really settled yet.
36 Posted 01/02/2026 at 21:34:39
I often think that if David became just a little bit less reserved then it might take away a few of the reservations that I continue to have about him, but until he does, then I will always have a feeling that when it really matters, that he just isnt brave enough.

Can he cover his full back?
Two of the first questions to the scouts report I imagine
52 Posted 02/02/2026 at 08:16:07
53 Posted 02/02/2026 at 08:39:17
Will he get a game though? I have my doubts. He looks a little too flamboyant for a Moyes player.
But, if he does get a game, I hope he hits the ground running and shows everyone how good he is
