Tyrique George's move to Fulham has collapsed and the winger is now set to remain at Chelsea, football.london understands, with Harry Wilson's transfer to Leeds United also breaking down.
The 19-year-old winger was about to complete a permanent move to Craven Cottage after he informed the Blues of his desire to move on this summer. Fulham winger Wilson looked set to move to Leeds, which would have paved the way for George's arrival, but when that deal collapsed, it had a domino effect.
The teenager will now remain at Stamford Bridge for the next few months at least, but that is not terrible news for Chelsea, who will benefit from extra depth in attack. George is understood to be concerned about his pathway into the first team following the arrivals of Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho.

A Cobham graduate, George featured 26 times for the first team in all competitions last season after Enzo Maresca decided to promote him and Josh Acheampong to the senior side. George ended the campaign with three goals and five assists.
The teenager was brought on early into the win against Fulham, ironically, on Saturday afternoon following the injury to Liam Delap. George played as the false nine in what looked set to be his final appearance for the club he had been at since joining the academy as an Under-8. However, George will now remain with Maresca and the squad until at least January.
Elsewhere, all documents are signed for Nicolas Jackson's loan move to Bayern Munich. Ben Chilwell is expected to sign for Strasbourg on a two-year deal.
