Everton make Chelsea transfer offer as second Dibling bid rejected | OneFootball

Everton have reportedly submitted an offer to sign Chelsea flop Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, while Southampton have rejected their latest transfer bid for Tyler Dibling.

The Blues are looking to offload the midfielder just one year after signing him from Leicester City for £30 million.

Dewsbury-Hall was reunited with manager Enzo Maresca, who guided the Foxes to promotion in 2023/24, but the Italian coach only handed him two starts in the Premier League last season.

The 26-year featured in all 15 matches of the club’s successful UEFA Conference League campaign, while he also made five appearances in the FIFA Club World Cup, replacing captain Reece James in the 3-0 final win over PSG.

Everton make Chelsea transfer offer as second Dibling bid rejected

Dewsbury-Hall could be leaving Stamford Bridge already after Fabrizio Romano reported that Everton have submitted an “official bid” to Chelsea for a permanent transfer.

The two clubs are in ongoing talks to discuss the terms of a possible deal, with the Merseyside outfit “confident” of reaching an agreement soon. Dewsbury-Hall has also been linked with a move to Fulham.

The Englishman is not the only player the Toffees are targeting after David Moyes admitted they are behind in preparations for the new season due to a lack of new signings.

Everton have made two offers to Southampton for winger Tyler Dibling. Sky Sports News report that the Saints have rejected the latest bid, which is said to be worth an initial £35m plus £8m in add-ons.

The Athletic claim that the offer was “in the region of £40m”, but Southampton have yet to respond to it.

Everton have also been linked with Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi, Malick Fofana of Lyon and Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish.

Speaking after Everton’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League Summer Series, Moyes said that he felt new signings would be arriving soon.

“I think there will be deals next week, we’re getting much closer,” he revealed. “But I have to say, I felt that four or five weeks ago as well, but we’re getting near the tickly bit soon and we’ve got to get some things done.

“We have to make several additions, we know that, even for the numbers. We have people in the squad where we’d maybe like to put them out on loan or do other things with them.
