Tyrique George can help David Moyes fix lingering Tyler Dibling headache - here's how

There is no buttering up the fact that Tyler Dibling has proven a headache for David Moyes at Everton.

Signed from Southampton in a £42million deal last August, the move to Hill Dickinson Stadium has not gone to plan yet.

Dibling was one of the most sought-after youngsters in the window last year, so there was understandable optimism when Everton won the race.

But he made just 14 Premier League appearances last term, only four as a starter, scoring no goals and providing zero assists.

There has even been talk now that Dibling's stay on Merseyside could come to an end after one season.

But Moyes and Everton need not be too hasty, for they might have a solution to the problem that has been posed.

What's the latest with Tyler Dibling at Everton?

Weirdly, there is a chance that Dibling could end up failing upwards if latest reports come to fruition.

Dibling has been linked with a move from Everton to RB Leipzig, who will be playing in the Champions League next season.

It would represent somewhat of a surprise, but Leipzig have proven in the past they can take struggling talents and turn them into more polished players.

So, it would leave Everton and Moyes with a bit of a dilemma, because there is undoubted potential there.

But at what point do you have to accept that maybe things haven't gone to play, and you part ways amicably and move on.

In truth, it doesn't feel like we have reached that nadir, and the full transfer of Tyrique George can help here.

Dibling spent so much of last season watching on as others were taking the plaudits, with Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye particular bright sparks.

When George arrived on loan from Chelsea, on the face of it that would have made his situation even more problematic.

But Dibling and George are pals going back to their England youth days, and he was one of the first to react on Instagram when Everton made that transfer permanent.

One of the things that has come up time and time again is Dibling struggling to settle after his move.

Having his mate around and bringing more familiarity could definitely help him off the pitch.

Moreover, he will have a full pre-season behind him this time around, something that he didn't last term and that clearly had an impact.

With Dibling more at home on the right wing, and George favouring the left flank, the two could yet both be hugely influential this season.

It might be last-chance saloon for Dibling, but for now it feels like an investment Everton should protect for just a little while longer.
