Overview

• Multiple mainstream outlets report a deal worth roughly £42m, including about £6m in add-ons and an estimated 20% sell-on clause to Southampton.
• Personal terms are said to be agreed in principle, with the 19-year-old scheduled for a medical early next week before final paperwork.
• Southampton had earlier rejected several Everton bids after initially seeking around £45–50m and a larger sell-on, before reopening talks and lowering their price.
• The move would be another summer addition for David Moyes and, if completed, would push Everton’s window spend past £100m, according to reports.
• Dibling made 33 Premier League appearances last season with two goals for Southampton, as separate reports suggest Crystal Palace could explore a higher package based on Give Me Sport’s claims.
