Everton's new winger Tyrique George confirms Ghanaian roots

Everton's new loan signing, Tyrique George, has confirmed his Ghanaian heritage as he settles into life at Goodison Park, opening the door for a potential future international career with the Black Stars.The 19-year-old winger, who joined Everton on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season, revealed his family background in a recent video.George stated that his mother is from Ghana and his father is from Nigeria, though he was born in England and has represented England at every youth level from Under-16 to Under-21.This announcement comes at a significant time for Ghana, who are preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Group L alongside England, Croatia, and Panama.The Ghana Football Association have been actively linked with several England-born players, including Callum Hudson-Odoi and Eddie Nketiah, as they look to strengthen their squad for the tournament.On the club front, George is expected to provide important cover for Everton following Jack Grealish's season-ending foot injury. His versatility and pace offer manager Sean Dyche additional options in attack as the Toffees look to finish the 2025/26 campaign strongly.While currently committed to England's youth setup, George's confirmation of his Ghanaian roots places him among a growing list of dual-nationality talents that Ghana hopes to attract as they build toward future international competitions.
