Everton have agreed a deal worth up to £24m to sign Chelsea winger Tyrique George.
The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Goodison Park, doing enough to convince David Moyes he was worth a permanent move.
The Toffees have restructured the original terms. Everton held an option to buy George outright for £25m, but chose not to trigger it. According to the BBC, they instead negotiated a lower upfront fee of £18m, with a further £6m in add-ons.
Those bonuses are tied to success on the pitch. The additional payments depend on European qualification and George’s number of appearances, while Chelsea have also inserted a 15% sell-on clause to protect their long-term interest.
His loan return was modest in the numbers. George made 11 appearances for Everton, starting just once, and failed to score or ******* ist. His energy and work-rate, however, left a strong impression on the coaching staff.
