Everton appear to have come to an agreement to bring the ‘highly-rated’ Tyler Dibling to Merseyside, beating Crystal Palace to his signature, luring him away from Southampton.
Interest in Southampton star Tyler Dibling has been hotting up throughout the summer, with the Saints wonderkid being a man in high demand.
It had appeared that Southampton may have managed to stave off the interest from the club, as Will Still confirmed that Dibling had been reintroduced to the training squad.
Comments from David Moyes also appeared to have encouraged Southampton fans that their exciting prospect would be remaining at the club; however, that does not appear to be the case any longer.

Everton come to an agreement for Tyler Dibling
It has been reported by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano on social media that an agreement has been struck between Everton and Southampton for Tyler Dibling.
Romano has reported that the fee for the teenager is set to be £42m plus a sell-on clause to Southampton.
Fans of the Saints may be frustrated that Romano is reporting that the deal was agreed several weeks ago, back in July, with there being no indication from the club that this was the case.
However, this announcement will mean that Southampton will now need to find a replacement for Dibling, with the Saints having been linked to several targets in the past few days.
Players who could replace Tyler Dibling
Following the news that Tyler Dibling is set to join Everton in the coming days, Southampton will need to bring in a replacement.
There will be encouragement that Southampton have been linked to signing Finn Azaz from Middlesbrough in the past couple of days.

Southampton have also been linked to the Bundesliga star Leo Scienza from Heidenheim, needing to beat out German clubs for his signature.
Meanwhile, the club are also looking to bring in Eduard Spertsyan from the Russian top flight, after they launched a £10.5 million bid for the Armenian international.
