Chelsea wonderkid Tyrique George is expected to join another Premier League club during the ongoing transfer window, according to The Athletic.

The 19-year-old played as a false number nine for the Blues earlier this campaign after an untimely hamstring injury for Liam Delap.

George has fallen out-of-favour since Delap’s return to full fitness, and the youngster is now poised to leave the Blues on a permanent basis.

Fulham were on the verge of landing his signature last summer, and the Cottagers could make a renewed approach for his services this winter.

They are likely to face competition for the versatile forward, given West Ham United and Crystal Palace are closely monitoring his situation too.

George could be sold for a package of around £35 million. The Blues are unlikely to enter the transfer market for a new winter signing after his exit.

The club are prepared to wait until the summer for another spending spree. There could be more departures alongside George in the coming weeks.
