The summer of spending continues for Everton.
The Toffees spent £40 million to sign the uber-talented 19-year-old winger Tyler Dibling from Southampton.
It’s the second-largest transfer fee the club has ever spent, and it sends a clear message that Evertons ambition to compete in the top half of the table is genuine.
After Tyler Dibling, the Toffees have now spent £112.3m on eight different players.
Dibling spent most of his career in the Southampton academy, transferring to Chelsea in 2022, and then back to Southampton FC a year later.
Dibling was one of the few bright spots for last-place Southampton last season, starting 20 matches mainly on the right wing.
His dribbling caught the attention of many top clubs, but Everton eventually won the race to get his signature.
It’s a bold move to pay £35m plus add-ons for a 19-year-old, but Tyler Dibling seems worth that price tag.
In this Tyler Dibling scout report and player analysis, we will examine Tyler Dibling strengths as a winger, his data profile, how he fits with David Moyes Everton tactics, and some areas for improvement.
Tyler Dibling Style Of Play
The best way to describe Tyler Dibling is a pure dribbler.
It seems as if the ball almost sticks to his foot when he weaves his way through defenders.
You can see here against Bournemouth that he shrugs off one defender, dribbles right by another, and then drives right at the opponents back line and plays a key pass to his striker.
