Everton fans are yet to really see the best of Tyrique George since his mid-season loan move from Chelsea.
The youngster was brought in as a replacement for the injured Jack Grealish.
And there was excitement over the deal, with Tyrique George undoubtedly having really high potential.
How do you feel about Moyes’ treatment of Tyrique George? 🫣
Everton's Tyrique George.
So far for the Toffees though he’s had to be patient, with David Moyes preferring to lean on more experienced options as he seeks to bring European football to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
He’s made six appearances so far, with his latest against Brentford arguably his most promising showing to date.
George has work to do to turn his move to Everton permanent – and one Chelsea transfer plan may well increase his motivation to succeed with the Toffees.

It’s been claimed by journalist Si Phillips that Chelsea are looking to potentially raid clubs that could be relegated this season.

West Ham United are one such club, and the Blues are said to have placed Crysencio Summerville on their radar.
Ironically Summerville has also been linked with Everton in recent weeks, with the Dutchman having impressed for the Irons.
He’s been a difference-maker. Without his goals – five in the Premier League in 2026 so far – the Hammers would be in deep trouble right now.

That Chelsea could sign Summerville is interesting to consider.
He tends to play mostly from the left side, which is where George also operates.
If Chelsea did sign him, then that would mean another barrier to minutes for George back at Chelsea – which is not something he needs at this stage of his career.
So this may serve as extra motivation for George to make a success of his move to Everton.
Everton hold option to buy George
Of course, Everton do have an option to buy George this summer at the end of his loan.
It’s been reported by The Athletic it’s worth around £25 million. That’s a lot of money, but the potential of George is undeniable.
He’s got work to do in order to get Everton to part with the cash.
But perhaps the prospect of returning to a club who want to sign a player in his position will now be the catalyst for him to really make an impact at Hill Dickinson.
