Everton have raised their bid for Tyler Dibling to about £40m and opened talks with Chelsea over signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Southampton have rejected two offers from Everton for the 19-year-old Dibling in recent days, of £27m and £35m, but Everton have returned with a third package worth iabout £40m including add-ons.
The England Under-21 international, who is believed to be open to joining Everton, has two years on his contract and Southampton are pushing for package nearer to £50m. They think others may come to the table.
