- George stays at تشيلسي
- Move to فولهام fell through on deadline day
- Will be part of دوري أبطال أوروبا فريق
The transfer talks between Chelsea and Fulham were progressing positively until the deal collapsed at the last moment on deadline day, forcing George to return to Cobham, according to فابريزيو رومانو. The 19-year-old will now be a part of the Blues’ 2025-26 Champions League squad.
After graduating from the Blues’ youth academy, George made his senior professional debut in August 2024 in a UEFA دوري المؤتمرات play-off clash against Servette. The youngster made 26 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea last season, although most of them came in the continental competition, where Enzo Maresca heavily rotated his team.
Despite George’s failed move to Fulham, Chelsea managed to offload several out-of-favour players in the summer transfer window, including Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix.
After a fruitful summer transfer window, where Maresca oversaw a massive rebuilding of his squad, the Blues will hope to compete for the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز title this season. They will next face برينتفورد on September 13.
