Tri-national winger Tyrique George is angling for a permanent move away from Chelsea ahead of the January transfer window, with a number of clubs closely monitoring his situation.

Born in London, George is eligible to represent the Super Eagles and the Black Stars through his Nigerian father and Ghanaian mother respectively. 

However, the highly rated forward is currently inclined towards representing England, having featured for his country of birth at U16, U17, U18, U19 and U21 levels.

According to CaughtOffside, the 19-year-old is growing increasingly frustrated by his lack of first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge and is actively seeking a permanent exit in order to accelerate his development.

George has made just two starts from a possible 22 matches across the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season. 

Despite his limited league involvement, the Chelsea academy graduate has started all three of the club’s Carabao Cup fixtures, registering two goals and one assist.

Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham, Leeds United, Southampton, RB Leipzig and AS Roma are all reportedly interested in signing George, who has been with Chelsea since U8 level after progressing through the club's development centre programme.

The winger remains under contract at Chelsea until June 2027 and was heavily linked with a move to Fulham on deadline day, although the deal failed to materialise.
