Southampton have confirmed that the fee received for Dibling \u201cis comfortably the highest received by the club for an academy graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dibling joined the Saints at the age of eight, rising through the club\u2019s youth ranks where he tasted title-winning success at Under-18 and Under-21 level, before making his senior debut in 2023.<\/p>\n
The England Under-21 international leaves Southampton after making 44 first-team appearances across all tournaments, including 38 last season in which he chipped in with four goals and three assists.<\/p>\n

I felt the club already, even before I was in the building, just from social media and from people telling me about the club. I’ve never been so excited to play football and I’m just ready to get going.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it’s the perfect match because of where the club is right now. Obviously with the new stadium, the fans here are unreal and it has a family feel to it. I think it was the perfect fit and was a no-brainer to join.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I\u2019ve come to Everton at the perfect time and hopefully I can be here for many years.<\/p>\n \u201c[The Brighton win] gave me a feel for the club. It looked unbelievable. I also played in the last Men\u2019s game at Goodison. It was so loud. I was looking around and thinking, ‘This is quality’. That was a really good insight for me into what it’s like here with the fans and the atmosphere they can create.<\/p>\n \u201cThere’s no better feeling than when you’re doing well in football and to feel that love from the fans is one of the best feelings ever. I’m excited to play here.\u201d<\/p>\n Introducing your new number 2\u20e30\u20e3! ? pic.twitter.com\/GxHCHiKqUT<\/a><\/p>\n\n
