Tyler Dibling stance emerges on Everton transfer as improved offer ready

Southampton forward Tyler Dibling could potentially return to the Premier League with Everton this transfer window.

The 19-year-old caught a lot of people’s attention last season despite the Saints’ poor performances, which eventually saw them get relegated.

Dibling is now wanted at Everton, but the Blues have seen their initial offer of £27million rejected.

The Merseyside outfit are willing to make a second bid to sign the Southampton youngster for David Moyes, and have been given encouragement to do so.

Everton transfer wanted by Dibling

Dibling is open to leaving Southampton for Everton, according to the Liverpool Echo.

The news outlet reports (1 August) that the Blues believe the 19-year-old’s transfer is worth pursuing as he’s willing to move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

It’s been claimed that the English winger is prepared to join the Merseyside outfit after Southampton’s relegation from the Premier League.

Dibling is an exciting talent who produced some exceptional moments for the Saints last season, but how the situation in L5 unfolds remains to be seen.

Moyes to bring the best out of Dibling at Everton

It isn’t surprising to see Nick Hammond pursuing a deal for Dibling before the end of August, as the Toffees are clearly in desperate need of quality additions to the team.

Moyes has urged The Friedkin Group (TFG) to make further investments in the Blues’ squad after signing four players so far.

The Scottish manager has travelled to the United States with several academy players, as he lacks a competitive squad for pre-season.

Everton will be getting a potential superstar on their hands if they buy Dibling, and Moyes feels like the perfect manager for him.

The Scotsman is known for developing young players and has shown faith in them over the years, as evidenced by Harrison Armstrong, who has been given multiple opportunities recently.

While Dibling is unpolished and could use work on his finishing and decision making in the final third, the England Under-21 international’s dribbling makes him an apparent threat to opposition defenders.

Only time will tell whether the left-footed winger will be a part of Moyes’ plans for the upcoming campaign.
