What happened: Everton have agreed to sign Tyrique George from Chelsea after his loan at Goodison Park. The deal is worth up to £30 million, with £24 million guaranteed and £6 million in performance-related bonuses, subject to personal terms and a medical.
Why it matters: The agreement follows Everton's decision to let a £25 million option lapse before renegotiating the transfer. George would add competition in wide attacking positions, while Chelsea retain a 15% sell-on clause.
By the numbers: George made 11 appearances during his Everton loan, starting once. The package comprises £24 million upfront and £6 million tied to appearances and European qualification.
What to watch: George must finalize personal terms and complete his medical. Everton will then look to integrate him into preseason preparations.
