Tyrique George is clearly loving life away from Chelsea after securing a permanent move to Everton during the summer window.

It is fair to say that many of the fans on Merseyside were not overjoyed by the 20-year-old's arrival, having failed to register a single goal contribution last term.

However, he has already made a significant impact during his time back at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and especially against Manchester United on Sunday, 6 September.

George netted an audacious goal during the thrilling 2-2 draw against the Red Devils, but that was just one part of his superb performance at the weekend.

Of course, new signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles will steal all the headlines after his buzzing-beating strike from outside the area to rescue a point.

But George's performance needs special mention, and those at Stamford Bridge will be keeping a close eye on what he gets up to in 2026-27.

Tyrique George already starring away from Chelsea

That is because, as part of his contract at Everton, Chelsea hold a 15 per cent sell-on fee following the 20-year-old's £18million move.

Should he have an incredible season at the Hill Dickinson, and early signs suggest he will, the Blues could land a big fee in a future window.

It wasn't just the winger's goal that caught the attention, though.

In 90 minutes, playing the full game, George created three chances, the most of anyone, and completed 80 per cent of his dribbles, the most of anyone [FotMob].

He also finished the game with a 100 per cent shot accuracy, a 93 per cent pass completion, 58 per cent of his 12 ground duels won, and won three fouls.

The former Chelsea man was an absolute nuisance, and some fans in West London may be wondering why they ever let him go during the summer.

What's the latest on David Moyes?

The jubilation of a last-minute equaliser is unlikely to have gone away just yet, and it could be serving as a much-needed distraction.

Despite new signings Maitland-Niles and Jack Grealish playing huge roles in the 2-2 draw, something behind the scenes just doesn't feel right.

Football Insider understands that there is the possibility that Moyes could quit Everton despite his public claim on Sunday he is not planning on doing so.

With this ongoing situation, Chelsea might be kicking themselves for not including a buy-back clause in George's contract. But then again, would he even play in that team?
