Chelsea youngster Tyrique George is likely to leave the club in January according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol.
George was set to join Fulham on deadline day in a £22m deal, but the move fell through at the last minute and he remained at Stamford Bridge.
The youngster, who was promoted to the first team squad last season, has fallen down the pecking order after the Blues signed five attackers in the summer.
Tyrique George likely to leave Chelsea in January
George made some important contributions towards the end of last season, including a vital equaliser against Fulham, whilst he also featured regularly in the successful Conference League campaign.
The 19-year-old has made five appearances in all competitions this season, and has predominantly played as a centre forward, with Liam Delap out until November with a hamstring injury.

George scored a brilliant goal against Lincoln in the Carabao Cup, but his chances of featuring regularly are very unlikely, and he wasn’t even in the match day squad for the win against Liverpool.
The teenager was linked with a number of clubs in the summer including AS Roma and RB Leipzig, and Solehkol has provided an update on his future.
He took to X.com and said:
“Tyrique George is likely to leave in January.
“Multiple Champions League and Europa League clubs wanted to sign him in the summer and he came very close too joining Fulham on Deadline Day.
“George is viewed predominantly as a winger and Chelsea already have Pedro Neto, Estevao Willian, Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho.
“Geovany Quenda is also moving from Sporting Lisbon next summer.”
Chelsea to make pure profit on youngster
Unfortunately for George, the competition in the wide areas at Chelsea is fierce, and he simply isn’t as good as the other options in the squad.

George would represent pure profit on the books given he’s a product of the academy, which is really beneficial from a financial perspective.
The youngster is under contract until 2027, whilst the club have the option for another year, and it will be interesting to see what fee the Blues will be able to get in January.
