According to multiple reports, Leipzig are in formal negotiations with Chelsea over the signing of Tyrique George. The midfielder has been a target for some time, and talks are said to be intensifying as the window progresses. The player remains under contract, but movement looks increasingly likely the longer talks go on. While Fulham, Bayern Munich and Roma have shown interest, Leipzig currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. With 1.33 goals scored per game this season, Leipzig could use more imagination between the lines. Tyrique George would be expected to connect play and boost chance creation in advanced areas. Chelsea continue to be linked with Conrad Harder, Roger Fernandes and Ademola Lookman while Leipzig are also rumoured to be tracking Harvey Elliott, Fabio Silva and Rasmus Winther Hojlund.
