Everton could potentially make a new bid for Southampton winger Tyker Dibling this transfer window.
David Moyes wants the 19-year-old at Bramley-Moore Dock, but a third bid worth £37million, including add-ons, was rejected by the Saints.
DIbling wasn’t part of Will Still’s squad at St Mary’s Stadium for the opening game of the 2025/26 Championship season against Wrexham on 9 August, but returned to the bench to face Ipswich Town away from home on 17 August.
While it looks like a potential deal for the English youngster is on the back burner, things could yet change before the end of August.

Will Still admits Dibling transfer still on cards amid Everton interest
If Southampton are willing to return to the table, a move for Dibling “could be revisited” by the Toffees, according to Liverpool Echo.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The news outlet reported on 16 August that while the Blues are actively looking at alternative targets to the Saints’ right-winger, he may still be on his way to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Will Still has also acknowledged the “noise” surrounding the 19-year-old at the Hampshire outfit and hasn’t closed the door on his exit.
Speaking to the media before the Ipswich game, the Southampton manager said: “I know there’s been a lot of noise, there’s a lot of noise about a few players. We can’t control that as such, it’s just part and parcel of what the transfer window is, so we’ll have to wait and see.”

Moyes should focus on defensive transfers at Bramley-Moore
Jack Grealish has joined the Toffees from Manchester City on a season-long loan, adding much-needed quality to their attack.
The 29-year-old could be used in the number 10 role at the Blues, with Iliman Ndiaye thriving on the left-wing.
While Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom have left, Dwight McNeil is more than capable of playing on the right side of attack and making an impact.
Everton will be without Jarrad Branthwaite for the time being after the centre-back picked up a hamstring injury recently in training.
Leeds will host Moyes’ team at Elland Road on 18 August.
The Toffees have made six signings so far this summer.
The Scottish manager wants more players in before the transfer deadline.
The Toffees also could arguably do with more quality at right-back, with Nathan Patterson and Seamus Coleman the only natural options.
While Jake O’Brien has done well under Moyes, it would undoubtedly be better for the Irish defender’s development to play in his natural position.
The Blues evidently have a clear priority to reinforce their defence before making a renewed approach for Dibling.
