Tyler Dibling could be facing the end of Everton career after latest twist
Tyler Dibling's career at Everton is rapidly approaching the point of no return.
The starlet's progress since his £40million move from Southampton last summer has completely stagnated, and he has yet to truly establish himself in the Toffees' squad.
The winger arrived on Merseyside as a significant capture for David Moyes' side, who won the race to sign him despite interest from several of the Premier League's top clubs.
However, the 20-year-old has been on a very clear downward spiral since his move to the North West, and he has been forced onto the fringes of the first-team squad.
Moyes has not trusted Dibling to play a single minute in the Premier League so far this season, despite the lack of attacking options drawing criticism from the fans.
However, with a Carabao Cup assignment approaching in the coming days, this is a huge chance for Dibling to show what he is all about.
Tyler Dibling has to save his Everton career vs Wolves
Dibling is competing against established stars like Jack Grealish when it comes to the wide positions at Everton, and he simply has to prove himself when he gets the chance.
His only involvement for the Toffees this season came in their 4-0 win away at Preston in the Carabao Cup, and the third round of the competition is now on the horizon.
Moyes' men welcome Championship side Wolves to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Wednesday, and Dilbing is surely in line to start, with Moyes likely to make wholesale changes.
If the young wideman can perform against the second-tier side, then it could provide him with the springboard to force his way into the manager's plans on a more regular basis.
However, if he cannot make his mark on the game, then it could effectively provide the final blow in his Everton career.
Dibling desperately needs to turn his fortunes around in the coming weeks, or he is surely staring down the barrel of a January exit.
Jack Grealish's stance on permanent Everton move
Football Insider revealed on Sunday that Grealish is keen to join Everton permanently when his contract at Manchester City expires next summer.
The former England international has returned to the Toffees on loan once again, but already has his heart set on joining them long-term.
Sources say that if Grealish makes an impact at Everton again this season, then there will be a willingness from all parties to secure a permanent agreement next summer.
The 30-year-old is understood to have developed a real fondness for the club, and Moyes is also a huge admirer of his quality.
