Transfer: Nigerian-born forward signs new contract at Chelsea

Chelsea has announced that Academy Forward, Tyrique George has signed a new contract until 2027, with a further one-year option.

George joined the Chelsea academy in 2014 as an under-8.

The 18-year-old has progressed through the Academy ranks at the club.

Last season, George played prominent roles across two Chelsea Academy sides and scored several eye-catching goals.

He made 26 appearances for our Under-21s – three of which came in the Premier League 2 playoffs – while 21 outings came with the Under-18s, who ended the campaign as Premier League South champions.

Despite representing England at the youth level, he is eligible to play for Nigeria.
