In a dramatic late transfer development, Everton have reportedly agreed to a major deal for one of their primary targets, with just under two weeks remaining until the deadline.
Moyes Eager for Historic Hill Dickinson Opener
Despite a disappointing opening-day loss to newly-promoted Leeds United, manager David Moyes is turning his attention to a memorable occasion: Everton’s first Premier League match at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium against Brighton & Hove Albion. The Toffees will be aiming to mark the event with a victory and secure their first points of the season.
“We’re all really excited about the new stadium. It’s been a long time coming, and now it’s finally here. We know adapting won’t happen overnight, but we’re looking forward to the challenge. Brighton are a well-run club with a clear vision—they recruit smartly and have built a very strong side.”
Summer signing Jack Grealish could make his full debut after appearing as a substitute at Elland Road. The Manchester City loanee, eager to regain his best form in a World Cup year, sees Everton as the ideal environment to do so.
Along with acquisitions like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Thierno Barry, Adam Aznou, Carlos Alcaraz, Mark Travers, and Tom King, Grealish highlights what has been a productive window for the club. Yet, the Friedkin Group appears poised for its most significant move yet.
Everton Agree Deal to Sign Tyler Dibling
According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton have secured an agreement to sign Southampton winger Tyler Dibling in a deal worth up to £42 million. After initially falling short of the Saints’ valuation, the Merseyside club capitalized on a reduced asking price to finalize the transfer.
Dibling’s arrival bolsters an attack that already includes Jack Harrison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Jesper Lindstrom. Moyes can now call upon a refreshed offensive unit featuring Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall, Dibling, and Barry.
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has praised the 19-year-old’s courage and potential, suggesting his best years are still ahead. Dibling is represented by the same agent as recent Everton signing Thierno Barry.
With a new era dawning at a state-of-the-art stadium, the Friedkin Group has provided Moyes with a strengthened squad capable of shifting Everton’s ambitions from avoiding relegation to challenging for a top-half finish.
