Everton have reached an agreement with Chelsea over a loan deal for Tyrique George.

Despite interest from elsewhere in the Premier League, Everton had been considered the favourites to sign George.

The 19-year-old is now on the verge of officially become an Everton player until the end of the campaign – and potentially beyond.

David Ornstein provided an update on the situation on Sunday evening, with Everton having around 24 hours to finalise a deal.

George will now travel to undergo a medical at Finch Farm, with the deal including an option to make it permanent in the summer.

Ornstein adds that the deal is pending ratification on Everton’s end, but it looks as though the Toffees will beat the clock to get their first winter deal over the line.

The 19-year-old has made 37 senior appearances for Chelsea since emerging through their academy ranks.

That includes four appearances in the Premier League this season, with the most recent of those coming in October.
