Tyrique George is set to move to Everton on loan after the Toffees agreed a deal with Chelsea for the winger.

The 19-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs over the last year after emerging as one of the brightest prospects at Chelsea but unable to break into the first team on a regular basis.

George had agreed a permanent move to Fulham in the summer transfer window last year, but the deal fell apart on deadline day.

The teenager is now set for a move to Merseyside, with The Athletic reporting that the clubs have reached an agreement in principle.

The deal will see George move on loan for the rest of the season, with Everton having an option to buy him in the summer.

The agreement will be a boost for the Toffees, after another loan signing, Jack Grealish, has suffered a possibly season-ending injury.

The England international, on loan from Manchester City, is dealing with a stress fracture in his foot and may not play for Everton again.
