It has all been quiet on the Tyler Dibling front over the past month or so, but now it seems the bids are going to come in, Everton are first up, but their opening offer has been tutned down.

Sky Sports have been claiming that Everton have had a £27 million offer for Tyler Dibling turned down out of hand.

They say that Southampton had originally valued the player at £100 million, but are now being more realistic with their pricing and that they would be willing to listen to offers starting at £40 million.

Everton's offer is of course way below that and with other clubs hovering including Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham and RB Leipzig, Saints are in no hurry to accept a low bid.

underweststand added 10:12 - Aug 1 A typical "cheapy bid " from a Billionaire's club, who will try to convince Saints that £27 really is " a lotta money". Next week they will return at £35 mill. and say that's the best they can do for young player ... in a Championship side... (blah. blah, etc). We can acknowledge the "£100 million" quoted last season was almost equivalent to pi**ing in the wind, but we should certainly hold out for a decent sum ...(at least half of that) AND a goodly sell-on clause plus bonuses. Any other clubs showing real interest should take note if they feel they can make " a killing" at the expense of a "small club". We await the next move....

saintmark1976 added 11:30 - Aug 1 Rejected £27 million for a petulant sulking young man with at best a streaky goal scoring record in The Premier League….Hmm.

highfield49 added 12:41 - Aug 1 I take your point saintmark however, taking into consideration the way previous managers squandered Dibling's flair and enthusiasm by strangling his natural talent I'm not surprised by his apparent petulance and loss of form. Presuming that Dibling is not pushing for a move and the new manager has not only reignited his enthusiasm but also recognised his best playing position then we could be looking at a huge transfer fee down the line. 27 million now or 70 million next year could be the difference.

Bowlercow added 13:58 - Aug 1 Still has introduced a couple more young guns during our pre season so if he goes it could allow one of those to get game time If he stays I would like to see him play more centrally and push into the box more often That would allow him to score more like he did against Swansea

MickeyBlueEyes added 23:55 - Aug 4 Well, you got your wish, Everton came back with £40m (inclusive of add ons) and Saints knocked them back. My view now is that Everton should walk away and look elsewhere. Tom Fellows is avaailable at a lower price and with better stats than Dibling. That's my view, however, I do honestly think that Moyes really wants Dibling and Everton will come back with £40m up front. The player wants the move so Saints will get their best deal and let him go. That will happen in the next 48 hours.
