Chelsea have officially parted ways with academy graduate Tyrique George. The 20-year-old forward, who struggled to break into the senior team, will continue his career at Everton.
The striker spent the second half of the previous season on loan with the Liverpool-based club. After making 11 appearances for the Toffees, he expressed his desire to make the move permanent.
Due to the positive business relationship between the two clubs, the deal was finalized quickly. Everton will pay a transfer fee of €21 million, with an additional €7 million in potential bonuses. Furthermore, Chelsea have negotiated a 15% sell-on clause for any future transfer.
George is expected to sign a long-term contract with Everton shortly.
