Everton star 'rejects' new contract, Southampton wonderkid 'targeted' by Manchester United

After another weekend of exciting Premier League action, we now await the next round of fixtures on September 28. Before then, let’s take a look at all the biggest rumours from around England’s top division today.

An Everton star has reportedly turned down the offer of a new contract at Goodison Park - meanwhile, a coveted young player at Southampton is the subject of interest from several huge clubs in the Premier League after they sent scouts to monitor his progress.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin rejects new contract offer from Everton

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has rejected a fresh contract offer from Everton, according to a recent report from Football Insider. With a takeover currently in the works, talks are unlikely to begin again until the situation has been resolved.

Calvert-Lewin’s contract at Everton is due to expire in the summer of 2025. As such, there is real danger that he could leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the 2024/25 season - with the Toffees’ dire financial situation in mind, this could be a devastating blow for them to endure.

Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling targeted by Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle

A trio of clubs in the Premier League - Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle - all sent scouts to watch Southampton's 18 year old ace, Tyler Dibling, during the Saints’ 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town. Furthermore, West Ham and Brighton are also thought to be interested in his services.

This is according to a report from HITC. In that game, Dibling scored the opening goal of the encounter - his excellent recent form is likely to pique the interest of the clubs in question even further. He also put forth a brilliant display against the Red Devils last weekend, winning a penalty and causing all sorts of trouble for their backline.
