Tyrique George is set to stay with Chelsea, it would appear, as Fulham opted against completing the £22m transfer they had agreed with Chelsea. The Blues had given permission for the medical and for the move to go ahead, but Fulham had a change of heart in the final hours of tonight’s Transfer Deadline Day.
Our friendly neighbors were going to let Harry Wilson join Leeds United (who were scrambling for attacking reinforcements after we stole Facundo Buonanotte away), but Fulham pulled the plug on that
deal in the final hour for some reason, and then in turn they also pulled out of the George deal. Maybe it’s an SW6 thing. (Though at least we got an improved deal for Nicolas Jackson out of that whole situation.)
With Buonanotte coming in and Marc Guiu recalled, it would seem that we now have one too many pairs of legs in the squad with George staying. So that’s not ideal, and we’ll have to see how the minutes might get shared.
