Chelsea academy graduate Tyrique George finds himself at a crucial period in his career as uncertainty grows over his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
At just 19 years old, the highly rated winger has been caught in the shadow of the Blues’ relentless spending spree, with recent attacking signings threatening to further limit his pathway to regular first-team football.
Sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside that while Chelsea are not opposed to keeping George within their plans, the club is simultaneously prepared to sanction either a permanent departure or a loan deal if the right offer emerges.

Among the suitors, RB Leipzig have moved most decisively. The German side, known for their impressive track record of developing young talent, made their admiration clear during talks for Xavi Simons earlier this summer.
Leipzig officials are preparing a formal offer worth in excess of €15 million, with the view of handing George a four-to-five-year contract.
Such a proposal reflects their belief in his long-term potential. For George, the Bundesliga presents an appealing route, especially given Leipzig’s reputation for fast-tracking emerging players into regular first-team roles.
