Fulham are ‘keeping an eye’ on the availability of Chelsea winger Tyrique George as they cast a wide net to try and supplement Marco Silva’s squad in the closing hours of the summer transfer window.

Sky Sports News’ Dharmesh Sheth reports that the Whites are one of a number of Premier League sides interested in signing George, who is the subject of a formal offer from Roma. The nineteen year-old has not played a single minute of league football this season and his chances of first-team football at Stamford Bridge appear remote following Chelsea’s summer spending spree, with Alejandro Garnacho the latest big-money signing for Enzo Maresca.

George, who is also interesting Bayern Munich and Crystal Palace, has scored three goals in 26 games for Chelsea since coming through the club’s academy, which he joined aged eight. The Camden-born winger scored the equaliser as Maresca’s side came from behind to Fulham at Craven Cottage last season – and Sheth suggests that the Whites are admirers of his talent.

Chelsea’s preference is to sell the teenager, although the deal will be complicated by the fact that Blues want to insert a significant sell-on clause so that they can profit from his future development.
