Everton close in on deal for Chelsea winger Tyrique George

Published

on

Everton are close to agreeing a deal with Chelsea to sign winger Tyrique George following his loan spell.

The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan on Merseyside, with an option to buy for £25m, but Everton have renegotiated an upfront fee to one with add-ons.

George made 11 appearances for Everton, starting once, but impressed manager David Moyes during his four-month spell at the club.

In May Moyes described him as “an excellent boy” with an “excellent work-rate” when asked about the possibility of a permanent move before the final match of the season.

With the deal for George close, Everton are finalising a £16m deal for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

Attacking midfielder Merlin Rohl is also set to make his loan move permanent following a successful spell from SC Freiburg last season, while Idrissa Gana Gueye and Seamus Coleman have departed after their contracts expired.

George, who came through Chelsea‘s academy, has been available for transfer for the past 12 months.

He held talks with RB Leipzig last summer, while a £22m move to Fulham collapsed on transfer deadline day in September 2025.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are continuing their squad rebuild under new manager Xabi Alonso.

They have signed Marco Palestra from Atalanta and retain interest in Crystal Palace‘s Maxence Lacroix, Como’s Jacobo Ramon and Rayo Vallecano full-back Pep Chavarria.

However, the club are also looking to reduce the size of their squad after finishing 10th in the Premier League and failing to qualify for European competition.

That means fewer matches and reduced revenue from broadcasting and matchdays, while Chelsea remain under a Uefa settlement agreement for the next three seasons after breaching financial regulations last summer.

Player sales are therefore likely, with Real Madrid interested in Enzo Fernandez, while Como and Inter Milan are among the clubs keen on Trevoh Chalobah.

The futures of Benoit Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana also remain uncertain, along with forwards Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap.

Lewis Hall leaves Newcastle training camp to manage minor injury

Lewis Hall has left Newcastle United’s Spanish training camp early and returned to Tyneside to train separately as he manages a minor injury.

Hall has attracted interest from Manchester United this window, but Newcastle are adamant the 21-year-old left-back is not for sale and will be a key part of the plans of new head coach Matthias Jaissle.

On Friday, Hall flew back from La Manga, where Newcastle have been training at a week-long camp, along with Fabian Schar and Lewis Miley, and the trio will miss Saturday evening’s friendly against Valencia in Spain, which is Jaissle’s first game in charge.

The trio are continuing fitness work at The Knox, Newcastle’s training centre, according to the club. Hall is set to train on Tyneside on Sunday and may return for Wednesday’s friendly against Everton at Murrayfield, in Edinburgh, or for one of the two practice matches at St James’ Park next weekend.

With Dan Burn yet to join up with the main squad following his exploits at the World Cup with England, though he is back at the training ground in Newcastle, Jaissle has limited full-back options to start with in Valencia.

Tino Livramento is still making his way back from a series of injuries and there are no other senior full-backs within the squad. It is a priority position for Newcastle to strengthen but, of the five signings so far this summer, none have been wide defenders.

Leo Shahar, the 19-year-old right-back, and Alex Murphy, the 22-year-old defender, may start, while Jacob Murphy could provide cover, too.
