Everton have completed the signing of Tyrique George from Chelsea on a loan deal until the end of the season.
The Toffees have brought in the 19-year-old on a temporary contract but there is an option to buy once that expires, football.london understands. George, who played just 11 times for Chelsea in all competitions this season, has been actively considering his options over the past month as he looks to play regular first-team football.
Everton emerged as a serious option in the last week following the news that Jack Grealish is set to miss the remainder of the campaign with a foot injury. George has been at Chelsea since Under-8 level and made his senior debut for the Blues back in August 2024, two months after signing a long-term deal at Stamford Bridge.
Elsewhere, Chelsea have missed out on signing Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes. The French defender is now set to join Liverpool, who are expected to pay a £60million package for the 20-year-old centre-back.
football.london understands Chelsea are now set to re-evaluate the central defender market in the summer transfer window after losing out on Jacquet. The Blues were willing to match Liverpool's £60million total package, but Jacquet believes he has more of a route into the first team at Anfield.
