Tyler Dibling has made just six appearances for Everton since his £40m transfer from Southampton, with only four Premier League starts and 513 minutes played in total. [1]
The 20-year-old arrived after links with Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig, and BBC Sport said he was expected to play an important role in Everton's new era under manager David Moyes. The fee made him one of Everton's most expensive signings. [1]
Dibling had been talked up heavily before the move. Russell Martin said: "When I was there I had to play it down a lot and not make things more difficult for him, but he is the most talented player I've ever worked with." [1]
His first season at Everton has brought limited minutes, but his form for England Under-21s has kept his profile high. BBC Sport said he started three Under-21 games, played in six and logged 261 minutes in the 2025-26 season, while coach Lee Carsley is said to rate him highly. [1]
There are no questions over Dibling's future, according to the BBC report, which said his potential remains bright. [1]
