Everton Set to Increase Offer for Southampton’s Tyler Dibling

Everton plans to make a new offer for Southampton winger Tyler Dibling. Their first £27 million bid was turned down. The Merseyside club still wants to sign the talented teenager before the transfer window closes.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Everton offered £27 million for Tyler Dibling, but Southampton rejected it. Reports suggest Southampton now wants at least £40 million for the 19-year-old. Dibling has two years left on his contract. He had a good season for Southampton, scoring four goals in 38 Premier League games. According to sources, Everton’s manager, David Moyes, is looking to improve the squad after losing wingers Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom.

WHY EVERTON WANT DIBLING

Everton had a challenging season and finished 15th in the Premier League. The club has signed three new players this summer, but they require more, especially on the wings. Moyes sees Dibling as a key addition to bring creativity and youth to the team. Despite Southampton’s relegation, Dibling demonstrated impressive skills and work-rate throughout the season.

WHAT’S NEXT IN THE TRANSFER SAGA?

Everton and Southampton are likely to continue talks as Everton prepares a bigger offer. Southampton may be willing to sell Dibling this summer due to the financial challenges of playing in the Championship and growing interest from other clubs. Everton’s next game is their Premier League opener on August 17 against newly promoted Leeds United, while Southampton will start their Championship campaign against QPR. Everton aims to improve their standing this season to avoid another relegation battle, while Southampton hopes to return to the top division.
