Everton are likely to make a fresh move for Tyler Dibling and are hopeful of clinching a deal for the winger, whose departure would boost Southampton’s chances of preventing Mateus Fernandes from joining West Ham.
Southampton are holding out for at least £50m for Fernandes – West Ham’s latest bid was £30m plus £2m in add-ons, up from last week’s effort of £28m plus £2m in add-ons – and will be in an even stronger financial position if funds are raised through the sale of Dibling. Everton have been biding their time since their previous offer for the 19-year-old, which was about £40m, and are understood to be preparing another bid.
