Everton have found themselves in a competitive race for the signing of Tyler Dibling in the final days of the window.
The race is on for David Moyes to be handed another forward addition to complete the front line on Merseyside.
Moyes has made it clear he wants a right winger signed before the deadline.
And that need for an addition was apparent on Monday night in Everton’s Premier League opener against Leeds United.
One player who is on Everton’s radar is Tyler Dibling, with the winger also being eyed by other Premier League clubs.
Dibling is a player in demand this summer, and his manager, Will Still, has now shared just how the 19-year-old is handling the speculation.
Tyler Dibling’s reaction to Everton and Tottenham interest
It’s not just Everton in the mix, with Tottenham Hotspur also keen to sign Dibling following their Eberechi Eze disappointment.
The north London outfit are having to look elsewhere in the market, and Dibling is a player who has caught their eye.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, Still has shared just how Dibling has reacted to the news surrounding his future.
“I don’t know [whether Eze’s move affects Dibling’s future]. I’ve got no idea. You’d have to ask Crystal Palace or Arsenal or Tottenham. Again, I don’t know. I read all this stuff at the same moment you guys do,” he said.
“I saw the Sky Sports news at eight o’clock this morning with breaking news. Ty’s fine by the way. He’s trained really well. He’s totally fine. He’s relaxed.”
Crystal Palace are showing an interest in Dibling, with the south London outfit reportedly readying a big bid for the 19-year-old.
An interesting week or so awaits Dibling, as Premier League clubs look set to test Southampton’s resolve over their young talent.
Dibling wants to make Premier League move
Although the Saints boss suggests Dibling is acting professionally behind the scenes, he has reportedly shown a desire to leave.
It has been claimed that Dibling is keen to move to Everton, and the youngster has informed Southampton of his wish to move on before the deadline.
Dibling has now been integrated back into the Southampton side following his omission from their opener against Wrexham.
With such big money being demanded, it will be interesting to see whether Everton make another approach.
