Fulham are reportedly monitoring England youth international of Nigerian descent, Tyrique George, as manager Marco Silva seeks to strengthen his attacking options before the transfer window closes.
Chelsea are open to a permanent transfer for the teenager, provided the deal includes a significant sell-on clause, which would also align with the club’s Profit and Sustainability Rules obligations.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Fulham are among the clubs considering a move, while AS Roma have scheduled direct talks with George following his recent appearance for Chelsea.
Silva is targeting two wingers, and a striker could also arrive at Craven Cottage before Monday’s deadline. George made 26 appearances across all competitions last season, including ten starts, contributing eight goal involvements as Chelsea won both the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. Limited opportunities at Stamford Bridge have prompted the 19-year-old to explore a move for more regular football.
Fulham’s shortlist of wide attacking options has a strong Nigerian connection. Alongside George, the club remain interested in AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze, although negotiations have slowed due to Rafael Leão’s calf injury. Another target under consideration is Basel forward Philip Otele, whom Fulham scouts observed closely during Basel’s Champions League defeat to FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.
