Everton weighing up Tyrique George permanent move

Everton are still deciding whether to trigger Tyrique George’s option-to-buy clause after his loan spell from Chelsea, according to the BBC.

The 20-year-old forward’s future remains uncertain, with the exact value of the clause yet to be confirmed, though it is believed to be similar to the £22m deal.

George made just one start in 11 appearances at Goodison Park but showed flashes of promise off the bench, although he failed to score. Chelsea have been open to selling the academy graduate permanently over the past two transfer windows and would consider suitable offers again this summer.

The Blues are expected to continue raising funds through player sales due to financial regulations, with George representing pure profit as a homegrown player.

Everton must now weigh whether his potential justifies the significant investment, especially given his limited impact this season. The Toffees face a tough decision on whether to commit to the young talent or explore other attacking options in the upcoming transfer window.
