Everton have confirmed the signing of Tyler Dibling from Southampton in a deal worth up to £42m. It is thought the Merseyside club will pay an initial £35m for the forward, who has signed a four-year contract, and Saints have inserted a 20% sell-on fee.
Dibling impressed in the Premier League last season despite Southampton enduring a dismal campaign that ended in relegation. The England Under-21 winger joined Chelsea in the summer of 2022 but returned to Southampton a month later after struggling to settle. “I think I’ve come to Everton at the perfect time and hopefully I can be here for many years,” Dibling said.
