Fulham Abandon Late £22m Move for Chelsea’s Tyrique George as Deal Collapses

Fulham’s reversal linked to retaining Harry Wilson ended a day of fast-changing reports on the winger’s future.

Overview

  • Evening Standard reported the proposed transfer fell through in the final hours, leaving the 19-year-old at Chelsea.
  • Earlier on Deadline Day, multiple outlets said the clubs had agreed a deal worth about £22m with a sell-on clause, five-year terms and permission for a medical.
  • Standard Sport said Fulham’s decision to keep Harry Wilson after talks with Leeds broke down contributed to the collapse.
  • RB Leipzig held late talks with Chelsea over George, according to reports, but no alternative move was completed before the window closed.
  • George, an England youth international with 26 senior appearances last season, had pursued a move for more playing time amid stiffer competition in Chelsea’s attack.
