Southampton don show Everton road to rejection, as dem reject £45 million bid for young forward Tyler Dibling. Na serious matter as Everton don waste two chances to snag the 19-year-old winger, with Southampton firmly dey hold their ground like say dem get strong roots for ground.
Dis latest bid, wey be around £35 million plus £8 million for add-ons, na significant increase from their earlier bid of £27 million. But Southampton wan chop their cake too, cos dem don set Dibling price tag for £100 million earlier this year, even if dem don adjust am down to about £45 million now. Wetin be this, abi dem dey play ball or wetin?
Manager David Moyes dey under serious pressure as he still dey find new players for him Everton side. Him make no secret say he need midfielders and don set his eyes on Leicester City midfielders Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Wilfried Ndidi. Talk about a busy summer for Toffees!
Dewsbury-Hall wey just join Chelsea last summer, no sabi play the Premier League well after him stellar run with Leicester in Championship. Na wetin happen when plenty people dey jostle for player positions; no be easy at all. Everton don already open talks to bring am home back, as dem dey sharpen their squad for new season.
But make we no forget Tyler Dibling. E get two years left for him contract with Southampton and several top clubs, like Aston Villa, Chelsea, and RB Leipzig don set dey eye am. Na serious hot property he dey turn to o! Dibling no just fit focus on all dis transfer wahala; he suppose focus on football, wey him sabi do well.
Meanwhile, Moyes dey complain say him squad no ready for Premier League season with big talk when dem recently draw 2-2 with Manchester United in final Premier League Summer Series match. “We no ready to perform well enough, we no ready for the season,” he talk. Wetin you go do? Talk wen dem dey draw ball against big teams no easy at all.
But as dem dey chase new signings, Everton fans still dey hope say dem go land Dibling or any other top talent quickly. The clock dey tick, and season dey loom. No be every time we go dey reject bid; sometimes, we need to accept reality and make things happen. Time go tell if Everton go finally sign their man.
