Fulham fans sing 'you're getting sold in the morning' then sign star themselves

FULHAM fans' cheeky chant at Tyrique George backfired spectacularly.

George, 19, came off the bench for Chelsea 14 minutes into their West London derby on Saturday.

The Blues academy graduate replaced Liam Delap up front after the No9 pulled up with a hamstring tear.

But the youngster was subbed back off again with nine minutes to go as Chelsea held on for a controversial 2-0 victory .

George , though, was subject to hilarious taunts from the away fans at Stamford Bridge.

Fulham supporters reportedly sang "you're getting sold in the morning" at the teenager during the clash.

George looked set to leave the Blues with Roma and RB Leipzig both keen.

However, just 48 hours after the Premier League game, Fulham fans may have been regretting their gibes.

Because news broke that Marco Silva's side had agreed a £22million with their rivals for the purchase of George .

The deal is thought to be a five-year contract and include a sell-on clause.

One joked: "So we sang 'you’re getting sold in the morning' and actually bought him."

Another wrote: "Bloody hell you can't make this s*** up, insane."

A third added: "Life comes at you fast."

A fourth quipped: "Iconic if you ask me."

And a final user typed: "Oh gosh I remember that now, this is hilarious."

George joined Chelsea aged eight in 2014 and racked up three goals and five assists in 27 first-team appearances.

His only Prem goal of his career, ironically, came in a 2-1 win for the Blues away at Craven Cottage in April.

But the depth of Chelsea attackers - including summer signings Jamie Gittens, Estevao and Alejandro Garnacho - means his game time would be severely limited if he stayed put at his boyhood club.

And Fulham could field a whole new strikeforce as they have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Samu Chukwueze from AC Milan.

The Nigeria international is set to initially sign on loan, with no obligation for Fulham to buy - for around £23m.
