Leeds United have shortlisted Chelsea's 19-year-old winger Tyrique George. According to Graeme Bailey, Leeds have been monitoring the situation, and George is ready to leave Chelsea. The Daily Mail reported that George's omission from Chelsea's squad for their FA Cup match against Charlton Athletic was the biggest sign yet that the winger will leave this month. The latest reports suggest a permanent move away from Chelsea is more likely than a loan. Leeds are looking to add more creativity and are open to signing a creative talent. Southampton have also shown interest, but with a loan being unlikely, it could be difficult for them to sign him.

According to sources close to the agents industry, Tyrique George is reportedly increasingly frustrated by his lack of first-team opportunities at Chelsea and is now actively seeking a permanent transfer in order to accelerate his development. Leeds United are monitoring George's situation closely, viewing him as a signing with high potential capable of developing into a Premier League regular. George's representatives want a permanent transfer, not another loan, and any move must include guarantees over regular starts and a defined role in the first-team setup.

According to Team Talk, Tyrique George is prepared to leave Chelsea in January, with sources indicating he wants a permanent exit due to frustration over his lack of playing time. Leeds United are understood to be monitoring the player's situation, but a potential complication is that his preferred position is on the left. Everton are also monitoring the situation, Fulham are still interested in a deal, and it is also reported that Southampton are interested.
