Tyler Dibling could be on his way out of Everton just a year after his big-money transfer, according to former scout Bryan King.

The 20-year-old came in from Southampton last summer as the Toffees forked out a reported £35million to land his signature.

Things certainly haven’t worked out for the Englishman as he continues to slide further down the pecking order under David Moyes.

The attacking midfielder has hardly featured recently, and there’s no sign of new opportunities in the pipeline at this stage.

Dibling could now be on his way out of Everton, with a summer sale potentially being readied at Hill Dickinson Stadium already.

There is very little to say about the Blues’ number 20 based on his recent record of minutes in the Premier League.

Dibling has played just one minute of football since the start of February, but he was hardly a regular before this recent snub.

He has shown no promise when given a chance, and despite his age, for £35m, you would expect better from the summer signing.

That has prompted former Everton scout King to suggest that an imminent summer sale could see all parties have a clean break after just 12 months.

Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, King said: “I certainly wouldn’t have paid that fee, I might have paid £12m.

“They’ve brought him in, and he hasn’t proven that he’s worth that money.

“He certainly hasn’t impressed David Moyes if he’s only had a minute of football recently.

“The only thing I can see happening is that he is sold in the summer because I can’t see any future for him at Everton.

“There has been a mistake made here, and I imagine he’ll be moving on.”

Moyes seems to be losing faith in Dibling, and it appears that a departure may be on the cards to suit everyone involved.

How much could Everton demand for Dibling?

If the Toffees are to part ways with the Englishman so soon, there is no doubt that they will make a massive loss.

The £35m they paid now looks like a blinder from Southampton after just two Premier League goals at St Mary’s last season.

Putting that into perspective, his Everton struggles may not come as a surprise, especially with such a massive lack of minutes.

A sale could benefit everyone involved at this stage, but anything above £10m feels like an unrealistic aim.

That would mark a loss of over £20m, so there may be a chance that the Blues do their utmost to find some value in Dibling moving forward.
