Everton are in the market for a winger this summer transfer window.
David Moyes wants to add quality out wide, with his current options looking very light following Jack Harrison’s departure.
Everton have been looking at RB Leipzig’s Antonio Musa, who has drawn comparisons to Neymar Jr and is valued at around £38m.
Manchester City’s Jack Grealish is also on Moyes’ radar, although, there is significant legwork to be done on that potential deal.
Now, there has been a new name thrown into the equation, as a £100m-rated winger has been tipped to join Everton.

Southampton winger Tyler Dibling tipped to join Everton
Tyler Dibling is widely regarded as one of the best young wingers in the country, and his former Southampton manager Russell Martin said he’s the most talented player he’s ever worked with.
“He’s the most talented player I’ve ever seen – ever worked with. I worked with James Maddison at that age at Norwich, he was outstanding. Tyler has every capability to go and play for England and at a top level for a very long time.”
Everton had scouts watching Dibling last term, so clearly Moyes and his recruitment chiefs are keeping a close eye on his situation on the south coast.

Now, talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor has tipped the England youth international to make the switch to the Toffees instead of Merseyside rivals Liverpool.
“We were talking about Delap (before). Dibling; Can he go to an Everton or a West Ham and show it for a couple of seasons?
“He’s too young for that big move to Liverpool.”
Dibling price tag
According to The Telegraph, Southampton are ready to demand over £100m for Dibling, with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur circling.
Indeed, Everton wouldn’t meet that price, nor would the two aforementioned clubs, so he’s likely to be sold for much less than that figure.
CaughtOffside report that a bid in the region of £51m would be enough to prise him away from the Championship outfit, who will have to cut costs following relegation.
That makes a move to the Hill Dickinson a real possibility, with the Friedkin Group set to hand Moyes a hefty budget once the financial year ends later this month.
It’d show a real statement of intent from the American investors, too, and that’s something they’re keen to achieve this summer.
