Southampton Keep Tyler Dibling Amid £37.5m Everton Interest

Southampton have retained Tyler Dibling in their matchday squad after Everton submitted three bids for the 19-year-old, the last potentially worth £37.5m. Dibling, an England youth international, missed Southampton’s opener against Wrexham amid transfer speculation. Manager Will Still confirmed the winger remains a Southampton player, praising his training and noting honest discussions about his future.

As the Premier League season progresses, Tyler Dibling has returned to the Southampton matchday squad after missing the opening game amid interest from Everton. The 19-year-old winger had attracted attention from the Blues, who submitted three bids for him, the last potentially rising to £37.5 million. Everton manager David Moyes was seeking a right-wing option to replace last season’s loanees Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison, but the clubs could not agree on a valuation.

Dibling, an England youth international, is reportedly open to a move if a deal can be reached. Dibling was absent from Southampton’s Championship opener against Wrexham, but with talks appearing stalled, he has been reintegrated and is on the bench for the upcoming clash with Ipswich Town. Southampton manager Will Still confirmed that Dibling remains a Saints player and praised his recent training efforts. He highlighted that decisions will be made based on the team’s needs and Dibling’s physical condition.

Still also emphasised the importance of honest communication with young players, acknowledging the pressures Dibling faces during a busy transfer window. While Everton explores other options, Southampton appear focused on integrating Dibling back into the squad and managing his development carefully amid continued external interest.
