Tyrique George is the latest youth talent to join the Toffees, and with Jack Grealish out for the rest of the season with a foot injury, George has the chance to make an instant impact and impress David Moyes and the fans as he looks to earn a permanent move to Everton.
Chelsea’s former wonderkid can play almost every position in the front line. Iliman Ndaiye is returning to form after his successful AFCON title charge, and Thierno Barrry has shined recently as Everton’s starting striker.
Dwight McNeil was the center of some dramatic transfer saga, and whether he starts or not after such a dramatic turn of events is yet to be seen. This leaves Tyler Dibling and George as the two best options for Everton on attack to replace Jack Grealish for the rest of the season.
If David Moyes shifts Ndiaye to the left, where he has succeeded in, then the road for Dibling and George to receive minutes becomes clear if Moyes decides to not opt to start McNeil. George has only practiced a few times with his new squad, so perhaps Dibling will be starting option.
However, if Everton do need some pace and a different dynamic off the bench, George offers that and so much more.
He’s the difference maker that Everton have lacked this season on offense off the bench, and a good performance against Fulham could endear him to the fans fairly quickly, even if it is a very short cameo in the dying minutes of the match.
