Everton has signed winger Tyler Dibling from Southampton on a four-year contract, the Premier League club announced on Monday.
The 19-year-old featured in 33 matches for the Saints last season. Although the fee was not officially disclosed, British media reported that Everton would pay around £42 million ($56.74 million) for the player.
“I think I’ve come to Everton at the perfect time and hopefully I can be here for many years,” Dibling told evertontv.
“My aim for this season is just to play as many games as I can and to help the team as much as I can with goals and assists.”
Everton have begun the new season with one win and one defeat in the league. They will face Mansfield Town in the League Cup on Wednesday before travelling to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.
