Southampton attacker Tyler Dibling has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window, and Everton are now closing in on his capture.

According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Everton have reached an agreement to sign Tyler Dibling. The Toffees needed to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and the English attacking sensaton should prove to be a high-quality long-term acquisition.

The 19-year-old was quite impressive in the Premier League last season, and he will look to make his mark at Everton now. Southampton have been relegated to the Championship, and the teenage prospect is too good for the second division of English football. He will want to compete in the top flight, and the move to Everton should be ideal for him.

There is no doubt that he is a promising young player with a bright future. The Englishman could develop into a top-class player for Everton with the right guidance. It remains to be seen whether Everton can nurture him properly over the next few seasons. If they manage to get the best out of the player, the transfer could prove to be a major bargain in the long run. Everton are paying close to £42 million for the player.

Everton needed attacking reinforcements

Everton were quite mediocre going forward last season, and they needed to improve in that area of the pitch. Signing a talented young attacker like Dibling should prove to be a wise decision. He will add pace, flair, and unpredictability to the Everton attack.

The Southampton attacker will want to establish himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League. If he manages to impress with Everton, he might be able to secure a big move in future. Other clubs, including Crystal Palace, were also keen on signing the 19-year-old English attacking sensation before Everton won the battle for his signature.

The Toffees have been fighting for survival in recent seasons, and they will look to do well this year. A club of their stature should be pushing for a place in the top half. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the proper signings required to compete at a high level this season.
