West Brom door opens to sign Tyrique George amid Chelsea exit news
Ryan Mason has brought in three players so far this summer as he looks to guide West Brom to promotion.
With Nat Phillips and George Campbell through the door, the Baggies’ defence for the new season is surely sorted.
Now, an attacker is needed, with David Brooks’ move to West Brom collapsing in June.
However, Mason now has a chance to seal a move for Tyrique George, who could be ideal for the Baggies.
Chelsea set to loan out Tyrique George
In the Premier League, Chelsea are preparing for their new campaign.
After the addition of Jamie Gittens, the Blues are now looking to offload some players to make room in their squad.
According to Matt Law via The Telegraph (21 July), Chelsea are now considering loaning out George.
The 19-year-old made his breakout season at Stamford Bridge last season, making 26 appearances in all competitions, netting three times.
Twelve of these came in the Europa Conference League, which Chelsea went on to win.

Given the raw talent of George, who can play on either wing or up top, Mason should look to sign the youngster this summer.
The deal would be perfect for all parties, with George getting vital first-team football.
Given that the attacker has shown he can score in Europe, the 19-year-old is unlikely to have trouble netting in the Championship.
Therefore, a loan deal for George could prove to be the difference between promotion to the Premier League this campaign.
West Brom should target Premier League loan moves
As the transfer window continues, more Premier League clubs are likely to be willing to loan out some of their players.
West Brom have to be on top of this, as many of the recently promoted teams have had Premier League stars in their starting XI.
Leeds United alone had Manor Solomon and Joe Rothwell on loan from Tottenham and Bournemouth as they went on to win the title last season.
Therefore, the Baggies must look to exploit this late in the window to help give the Black Country club the best chance of promotion.
