Overview

• After missing out on Francisco Conceição, Johan Bakayoko and Takefusa Kubo, Everton have focused on 19-year-old Tyler Dibling
• Dibling scored four goals in 43 appearances for relegated Southampton and is under contract until 2027
• Southampton’s £57 million price tag remains the main obstacle to a concrete offer
• David Moyes has spent about £45 million on summer signings but still lacks depth on the flanks
• Everton’s strategy centers on securing young prospects to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes
