Southampton have officially rejected a £27 million bid from Everton for their highly-rated 19-year-old winger Tyler Dibling, with the club insisting that an offer closer to £40 million may now secure his signature.
Once tentatively valued at £100 million, Dibling remains under lengthy contract at St Mary’s and has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs—including Aston Villa, West Ham, Fulham, and Manchester United—as well as from abroad.
Everton are reportedly preparing a new proposal, potentially increased to around £35 million, while manager David Moyes faces mounting pressure to reinforce his squad ahead of the new campaign.
Dibling, who featured 33 times in the Premier League last season, is believed to be open to a Merseyside move, recognizing the chance for regular top-flight football in a more stable setting than Southampton, who are now in the Championship.
