RB Leipzig are reportedly eyeing a summer swoop for Everton winger Tyler Dibling, according to the Daily Mail. The Bundesliga giants could be set to speed-dial two Toffees stars in what would amount to a major blow to Everton boss David Moyes’ plans for the upcoming campaign. Thierno Barry is also said to be on Leipzig’s radar, with discussions already having taken place between the clubs. Leipzig had Dibling on their radar prior to his arrival at Everton in a 35 million pound move from Southampton last summer, and they remain keen on the 20-year-old while they prepare to compete in the Champions League next season. The club is looking to strengthen its attacking options, and Dibling’s potential arrival, alongside Barry, could help fuel their push in Europe.
Dibling logged 17 appearances in all competitions for Everton last season, but failed to find the back of the net or register an assist. He featured in just four Premier League matches, and Everton may be willing to let him go for the right price as they continue to bolster their wide options. The English winger is seen as a potential replacement option for a more competitive depth chart on the flanks, and he could depart if Moyes opts to bring in proven attacking talent in the coming weeks. With a crowded attacking lineup, Dibling could struggle to secure a regular starting spot if Everton add further quality on the wings, especially as the club looks to enhance its options on the flank.
Leipzig, meanwhile, will be closely watching the developing scenario, hoping that the lure of European football and the chance to play in the Champions League next term might appeal to Dibling. The youngster still has ample time to prove his worth at Everton, and a return to the market or another loan spell could be on the horizon as the club weighs its long-term wing options. If a move materializes, Dibling could be given another opportunity to showcase his talents in the top tier of European football, with Leipzig presenting an enticing stage to accelerate his development against elite competition.
