Everton’s main target for the remaining weeks of the window is to sign a new right winger.
After returning to Merseyside in January, David Moyes has been keen to sign a new winger at Everton.
That finally looks to be the priority in the summer transfer window following the signing of Thierno Barry and Adam Aznou.
Everton have returned home from the United States, where they played three friendlies in the Summer Series.
Moyes has demanded nine new signings for Everton during the tour of the States, with the Blues now looking like they’ve sprung into life in the market.
Everton are pursuing a move for Tyler Dibling from Southampton, but the Saints have now made a stunning new demand for their young prospect.

Southampton now demanding £50m from Everton for Tyler Dibling
Southampton manager Will Still left Dibling out of Southampton’s squad on the weekend for a friendly game.
With speculation rife, there is clear interest from the Blues who have now submitted numerous bids for the winger.

According to The Guardian, Southampton have now upped their demands again and are looking to secure £50m for Dibling.
The Championship outfit are also hoping other clubs enter the race for their young talent, which could spark a bidding war.
Considering Dibling is still so young, and has only played one Premier League season, this seems an incredible demand from the Saints.
There is an understanding that Dibling wants to move to Everton this summer following Southampton’s relegation.
Perhaps the youngster will have to make his voice heard at St Mary’s if this deal is going to close in on completion.
Everton remain interested in Malick Fofana
With interest in Dibling seeing Southampton return with a £50m demand, it is important for Angus Kinnear to consider his other options.
Everton hold an interest in Malick Fofana of Lyon, but they face another issue with the Belgian winger.
The Ligue 1 side would consider selling Fofana due to their financial issues, but Everton will face a nervy wait on a decision from the player.
It is believed that Fofana is holding out for a Champions League club to swoop in and sign him this summer.
With this in mind, it could lead to another lengthy hold out before Everton could land their target.
