Chelsea wonderkid Tyrique George has been linked with a move away from the club, and RB Leipzig are keen on him.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig have made an enquiry to sign Tyrique George. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Chelsea to sell the highly-rated winger this summer.
An additional update by Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Borussia Monchengladbach are interested in the 19-year-old as well. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are prepared to let him leave.
Tyrique George is a promising young player with a bright future, but he needs to play regularly to continue his development. Chelsea will not be able to provide him with that platform right now. It remains to be seen whether they decide to send him out on loan or sell him permanently. Recent reports have suggested that Chelsea want to tie the youngster to a new contract.
The young Chelsea ace needs to focus on his development at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at a big club is unlikely to benefit him. He should look to leave Chelsea this summer and secure a move where he will be able to play more often.
Moving to Germany could be ideal for him. Several young players have made the move to the country in recent seasons from England, and they have flourished with regular game time in the Bundesliga. There is no doubt that George could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Leipzig or Gladbach. It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs managed to get the deal done.
Can RB Leipzig convince Chelsea to sell the player to them?
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the player wants to leave Chelsea because of limited opportunities at the London club. The Blues are currently negotiating with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons, and the two clubs have talks over George as a separate deal.
It will be interesting to see if they can come to an agreement in the coming days. The fact that Chelsea are trying to sign a player from the Bundesliga club could give them an advantage in the race for George ahead of Borussia Monchengladbach.
