Fulham had also agreed a £22m deal with Chelsea for forward Tyrique George, but the move fell through late in the window.

George was being lined up as a replacement option in case Leeds United made an irresistible offer for Wales winger Harry Wilson. However, with Wilson staying put, Fulham opted not to push ahead with the transfer.
