Chelsea are set to revisit Tyrique George\u2019s situation closer to the January transfer window, with the club reported to \u201chold talks\u201d over the 19-year-old\u2019s future. The academy graduate has been deployed both as a winger and as a striker this season.<\/p>\n
George came close to leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer when a proposed \u00a322 million ($28.9 million) move to Fulham collapsed at the eleventh hour. Roma and RB Leipzig were also linked with the teenager before he remained at Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Since then George has been reintegrated into the senior group and used as a rotation option. He scored and assisted in Wednesday night\u2019s Carabao Cup fourth round win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, having recorded the same combination in the third round at Lincoln City.<\/p>\n
The forward\u2019s long-term prospects at Chelsea are unclear because of the depth in the final third. Out wide, Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho, Pedro Neto and Est\u00eav\u00e3o are ahead of him in the pecking order, while Jo\u00e3o Pedro, Liam Delap and Marc Guiu lead him in the No. 9 department.<\/p>\n
As per Mail Sport, discussions over George\u2019s immediate future will take place nearer to the January transfer window, with George reportedly having a big say over whether or not he departs. The likelihood of a move may depend on interested clubs and their plans. Fulham\u2019s position is uncertain after they signed two wingers over the summer in Kevin and Samuel Chukwueze, with the latter only arriving on loan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
