Everton have completed the loan signing of highly rated winger Tyrique George from Chelsea, securing the 19-year-old on a temporary deal that runs from 02/02/2026 until 30/06/2026. The move keeps the England/Nigeria youth prospect in the Premier League and confirms that he will return to Chelsea at the end of the loan, avoiding any prospect of him becoming a free agent this season.
The deal is registered as a loan transfer, with George moving from Chelsea to Everton while his contract with the London club remains in place. His market value is currently listed at €22.00m, underlining the scale of talent Everton have added to their squad for the second half of the campaign. There is no indication in the data of an option or obligation to buy, reinforcing that this is a straightforward short-term move before a scheduled return to Stamford Bridge on 30/06/2026.
George arrives at Goodison Park as a natural left winger who prefers to operate on the right foot, giving Everton a profile of attacker who can cut inside from the flank. He will wear the number 19 shirt for the Merseyside club. The loan keeps him in the same league, with both Everton and Chelsea competing in the Premier League, meaning he will continue at the highest level of English domestic football rather than moving abroad or dropping to a lower division.
Born in London on 04/02/2006, the 1.81m wide forward has progressed entirely through the Chelsea system. His pathway runs from Chelsea FC Youth to Chelsea U18, then to Chelsea U21, before being promoted to the first team in the 2024/25 season. That rapid rise has been matched by a steep increase in his market valuation: from €1.00m in early 2025 to €3.50m, then €10.00m, €20.00m and finally €22.00m by the end of that year.
The data lists his nationalities as England and Nigeria, reflecting eligibility for both nations. While his current national-team line shows Everton FC rather than a senior international side, that dual-national status adds another layer of interest around his development, with both English and Nigerian football circles likely to track his progress closely during this Premier League loan spell.
Although detailed match-by-match statistics and appearance totals for the current season are not provided in the data, the combination of his rapidly rising valuation and recent promotion through the Chelsea age groups indicates a player on a sharp upward trajectory. Everton’s decision to bring him in mid-season suggests they see him as ready to contribute immediately in an attacking role.
George’s future beyond the end of his Everton stint remains centered on Chelsea, as the transfer record clearly shows a scheduled return to the London club when the loan ends on 30/06/2026. For now, however, the focus shifts to Goodison Park, where he will attempt to translate his youth and early senior promise into consistent Premier League performances. How he handles this first top-flight loan, and how he adapts to the demands of a new club environment while remaining tied to Chelsea, could play a decisive role in shaping the next phase of his career and determining whether his rising market value is only the beginning.
