Although the winger did not have much impact during his loan spell, there was plenty there to suggest he was a talented player.
The Toffees have managed to get a much better deal for the 20-year-old after negotiating down from his £25million option to buy.
Instead, the Blues will now pay a guaranteed £18m, with a further £6m in potential add-ons.
With Hayden Hackney and George through the doors, as well as confirmation of Merlin Rohl's purchase option being activated, the question for Everton seems obvious.
Where will they turn next in the transfer window?
The three priorities for Everton now after Tyrique George arrival
Everton's work in the transfer market is far from over as David Moyes continues to look for new additions.
Toffees supporters would have entered the summer window with a clear idea of where should be strengthened.
For many, right-back was a clear priority and that is the case ahead of Everton's future plans.
Fans have grown tired of the Merseyside club's lack of attacking threat from the width of defence, with Jake O'Brien far from suited to the demands of the role.
But that is not all, as the Daily Mail have shared that another striker and an additional midfielder are also eyed for the L3 outfit.
So, as the weeks rumble on, those will likely be where the Blues continue to look in the market.
Who are the leading candidates to continue Everton's window?
As things stand, Everton have a few options for a right-back arrival.
In midfield, Christ Inaou Oulai is an option for Everton but he is not the only name on the list.
In the striker department, there have also been plenty of names, with three of Everton's linked targets competing at the World Cup.
So, overall, in any of those areas Everton are not short of choice, and it will be interesting to see who actually makes the cut ahead of next season.
Of course, there is also the case of Jack Grealish, who is still wanted back at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
