Everton's £40m signing Tyler Dibling has endured a transitional season under David Moyes, starting just four Premier League games despite high expectations. The 20-year-old, once hailed as a generational talent by former Southampton boss Russell Martin, has been limited to 513 minutes across six matches. Moyes emphasized the need for Dibling to improve his work ethic and consistency, particularly after Grealish's injury and Dwight McNeil's emergence as a preferred wide option. The £40m transfer fee, one of the club's most expensive, amplifies pressure on Dibling to adapt to Everton's physical style and Moyes' tactical demands.
