Fulham, Chelsea Agree £22m Tyrique George Transfer

Fulham have agreed to sign 19-year-old Chelsea Academy winger Tyrique George in a deal reportedly worth £22 million, which includes a sell-on clause. George, who made 27 senior appearances for Chelsea last season and recently signed a contract extension until 2027, is expected to join Fulham on a five-year contract pending a medical. While AS Roma had been interested in George, Fulham have moved ahead in securing his signature, although interest in Raheem Sterling from Fulham remains possible. George has been a promising talent, featuring prominently in Chelsea’s 2024-25 season under Enzo Maresca and representing England at youth levels. Chelsea have bolstered their winger options this summer, signing players like Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho, which may have influenced George's move. This transfer marks a significant step in George's career as he transitions to Fulham for more first-team opportunities.
