Tyler Dibling is training alone at Southampton as speculation over his future continues, with Everton having had three bids rejected for the winger. According to the Daily Echo, the 19-year-old is working away from the first team while transfer talks with Everton proceed, and he has not caused any disruption at the club.
New Southampton head coach Will Still has not banished Dibling, who is focusing on non-contact and fitness work ahead of the Championship opener against Wrexham. Southampton value Dibling at around £50 million, but Everton are unwilling to meet that price. The Athletic reports that Southampton's counter offer was an initial £45 million plus £5 million in add-ons, along with a 25 per cent sell-on clause.
Everton are now considering other right-sided targets. Still recently acknowledged the possibility of Dibling leaving, stating, 'The club have set a price and we have good players. Tyler is fine and just getting on with it.' Dibling impressed last season with his left-footed runs from the right wing.
Everton have had a busy transfer window, completing the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea for £25 million and opening talks with Manchester City for Jack Grealish. They also added Carlos Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, and Adam Aznou. Everton face AS Roma in a pre-season friendly on Saturday at their new stadium before starting their Premier League campaign against Leeds United on August 18.
