Tyler Dibling to save Everton millions as David Moyes plots latest transfers
Tyler Dibling faces a make-or-break season at Everton.
After completing a big-money move from Southampton last summer, the England youth international has failed to live up to expectations so far.
The 20-year-old struggled for game time at the Blues in the previous campaign and his future in L3 feels uncertain already.
David Moyes has been reluctant to rely on Dibling at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but that can't continue.
The Scottish manager clearly has a valuable asset at his disposal and the winger should either be sent out on loan or given opportunities to develop in Merseyside.
Having played just 350 minutes in the Premier League under Moyes, it will be interesting to see how his situation unfolds.
Tyler Dibling's situation assessed at Everton
Dibling finds himself in a tough spot as he looks to convince Moyes of his qualities.
The Toffees evidently saw something in the Englishman to spend an initial £35million fee on him.
During Russell Martin's time at Southampton, he described the forward as a "really special talent".
If the winger can prove himself at the Blues during pre-season and become a key player for the Scottish manager ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, he could potentially save them millions in transfer fees.
Dibling will likely be behind Iliman Ndiaye in the pecking order on the right, but could start to make a name for himself on the opposite flank.
Goodison News have covered reports of Jacob Murphy being a target at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but they may not need to spend money on the Newcastle attacker if Dibling steps up.
Why The Friedkin Group will be encouraged about Tyler Dibling
Dibling became one of the first major investments The Friedkin Group made at Everton.
Several teams were eyeing the young star after breaking out at Southampton, but the Toffees won the race.
What the American owners will now hope is that their efforts to sign the young attacker don't go to waste.
TFG have reason for encouragement, with RB Leipzig interested in signing Dibling.
It's clear that the forward still holds an appeal in the transfer market and it's now up to the Merseyside outfit to help him fulfil his potential.
