Everton eye Jacob Murphy as potential transfer option this summer

Summary

Everton is considering a move for Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy if Tyler Dibling does not find his form. Dibling, who was signed last summer, has struggled since his arrival at the club. Manager David Moyes believes Dibling can succeed but may look at Murphy, a 31-year-old with Premier League experience. Murphy's versatility could address issues in defense following Seamus Coleman's departure. Despite this, concerns remain about Murphy's recent performance and whether he can regain his previous impact.
