Overview

• Everton have resumed talks with Southampton and are described as hopeful after three earlier bids were rejected, the last worth about £37.5m.
• The Independent reports an agreement on a basic fee plus add-ons thought to total under £42m, which would make Dibling David Moyes’ eighth summer signing.
• Crystal Palace are reportedly preparing an offer of £35m plus incentives to reach around £45m in an attempt to hijack the move, according to Give Me Sport relayed by other outlets.
• Southampton were previously reported to value the 19-year-old winger at around £50m and had limited his involvement during the window to protect his value.
• Dibling made 33 Premier League appearances last season and has played seven minutes this term, with Palace’s interest influenced by expectations that Eberechi Eze will depart for Arsenal.
