AliousFabrizio Romano Reveals Everton’s Late Transfer Push as Toffees Close In on Chelsea Forward Eyed by Sunderland and Man United
Everton looked set for a quiet end to the transfer window, with David Moyes seemingly resigned to squeezing more out of his existing squad rather than dipping back into the market. As deadline day ticked down, there was little expectation of late drama at Goodison Park.
However, the Toffees’ league position has changed the narrative. Sitting just a handful of points off the top six and within touching distance of the Champions League places, Everton suddenly find themselves dreaming of an unexpected push up the table. With a bit more attacking depth and added quality in the final third, Moyes’ side could turn that dream into a genuine possibility.
Despite a dramatic late equaliser against Brighton and Beto beginning to rediscover his scoring touch, the need for another reliable goal threat remains. Everton’s struggles in front of goal have not completely disappeared, and that appears to have prompted a last-gasp move in the market.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, speaking to *GiveMeSport*, Everton have made a decisive late approach for Chelsea youngster Tyrique George. Romano reports that a deal is edging closer, with discussions centred around an initial loan move that includes an option to buy. In his words, the transfer is “very close,” suggesting the winger could soon be on his way out of Stamford Bridge.
George has built a strong reputation at youth level and has already offered glimpses of his potential in Chelsea’s senior side. The versatile forward has contributed two goals and an assist in the Carabao Cup, showcasing his knack for finding space in dangerous areas. Comfortable across the front line, he thrives on movement and positioning rather than brute force.
With Jack Grealish sidelined through injury, a pathway could open for George to feature regularly, potentially on the left flank. His performances have not gone unnoticed either, with both Sunderland and Manchester United previously credited with interest, making Everton’s late move even more intriguing.
Meanwhile, Moyes has praised his team’s response after going behind against Brighton, singling out the renewed attacking intent and the impact of his forwards. Speaking via Everton’s official website, the manager admitted the opening goal did not come entirely against the run of play but highlighted how his side raised their intensity afterward, putting more balls into the box and asking tougher questions of the opposition.
Moyes also offered warm words for Beto, acknowledging the striker’s struggles and applauding the support he received from the fans. The Everton boss hinted that confidence could be the key, recalling how Beto hit form around the same stage last season.
With Thierno Barry also showing flashes of promise, Moyes still lacks a definitive first-choice number nine. But if Iliman Ndiaye can rediscover his early-season spark and Tyrique George arrives and adapts quickly, Everton may yet have the firepower to justify looking up the table rather than over their shoulders.
