Everton have reached an agreement to sign Chelsea attacker Tyrique George on loan with an option to buy at the end of the campaign, according to David Ornstein.
George was heavily linked with a move to Fulham last summer, but the deal fell through on deadline day. The Blues graduate has since struggled for regular game time, and has now opted for a new challenge.
Everton made an approach for the winger yesterday and they have now secured a deal in principle. The 19-year-old will join the Toffees on a short-term loan with an option to buy when the season ends.
George has been out of contention with the Blues despite the change of manager and he has the opportunity to establish his career at Everton.
The Toffees are likely to see him as a direct replacement for Jack Grealish, who has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign due to injury.
