In a move that solidifies his future at the West London club, Chelsea FC is set to confirm that Super Eagles-eligible winger Tyrique George has committed his future to the club by signing a new contract.
According to respected transfer market reporter Fabrizio Romano, the 18-year-old England U18 international of Nigerian descent put pen to paper on the new deal on Friday.
George, born in 2006, is considered one of the brightest prospects in Chelsea's famed Cobham academy. His impressive performances for the club's U18 and U21 sides have earned him a reputation as a huge talent for the future.
The Anglo-Nigerian starlet has been making waves in Chelsea's youth ranks, impressing coaches with his exceptional abilities. He scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists in 34 appearances combined in the U18 Premier League, FA Youth Cup, EFL Trophy, and FA Youth Cup last season.
Although he is yet to make his first-team debut, George was named on the bench for Premier League matches against Everton, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur in the season run-in. He was also nominated for Chelsea's Goal of the Month five consecutive times between October 2023 to March 2024 and was in the running for the club's Goal of the Season accolade.
