Overview
- Everton confirmed on Monday that Tyrique George has joined on a four-year contract after the clubs agreed a permanent transfer following his January loan.
- Multiple outlets reported the package as an initial £18m payment with up to £6m in performance add-ons and a 15% sell-on clause for Chelsea, though a few reports gave different headline totals.
- George is a 20-year-old Chelsea academy graduate and England under-21 international who made 37 senior appearances for Chelsea and spent the second half of 2025/26 on loan at Everton, making 11 appearances and one start.
- Everton negotiated down from the loan’s reported ~£25m option to limit short-term spending while Chelsea secured immediate income and retained future upside through the sell-on provision.
- George is expected to join Everton for pre-season and the move will test whether regular game time at Goodison can accelerate his development under David Moyes.
