Everton announce signing of Ghanaian forward Tyrique George from Chelsea

Everton have completed the loan signing of exciting young forward Tyrique George from Chelsea for the remainder of the 2025/26 season, with the Merseyside club holding an option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign.

The 19-year-old England Under-21 international, who is of Ghanaian descent, joins the Toffees on deadline day as manager David Moyes looks to add pace, creativity and depth to his attacking options.

George will wear the number 19 shirt at Everton and is in contention to make his debut in Saturday’s Premier League clash away to Fulham.

Speaking after sealing the switch, George expressed his excitement at joining the nine-time English champions, describing Everton as a “massive club” with passionate supporters.

He also highlighted Moyes’ influence on his decision, praising the experienced Scottish tactician for his track record of developing young players.

London-born George joined Chelsea’s academy at the age of eight and progressed steadily through the ranks, earning his first-team debut during the 2024/25 season.

That campaign proved to be a breakthrough year, as he featured prominently in Chelsea’s successful UEFA Conference League run, starting eight matches as the Blues lifted the trophy.

He also played a role in their FIFA Club World Cup triumph later that summer.

In domestic football, George made eight Premier League appearances in 2024/25, scoring his first top-flight goal against Fulham.

This season, he added further experience with 11 appearances across competitions, registering three goals, including one in the UEFA Champions League.

George has represented England at multiple youth levels and is currently a regular with the Under-21s.

His move to Everton is expected to provide him with more consistent playing time, while also boosting the Toffees’ attacking threat as they push for a strong finish to the season.
