New Everton signing Tyler Dibling says the chance to player under David Moyes, who he believes is the "perfect" manager for his development, was a key factor behind his choice to make the move from Southampton.
The 19-year-old winger has agreed terms on a four-year contract until June 2029 in a deal worth an initial £35m, plus £5m in add-ons.
"It's the perfect match because of where the club is right now," Dibling said.
"The fans here are unreal, and it has a family feel to it. It was the perfect fit and it was a no-brainer to join.
"The manager is perfect for me. He's helped so many players before who were in my position. I've spoken to him and I know he's going to be good for me.
"My aim for this season is just to play as many games as I can and to help the team as much as I can with goals and assists. As a team, hopefully we can have a good season and see where it goes."
Moyes said Dibling is a "talented young English player" with "lots of potential".
"Tyler adds to our attacking options and we will support him in his future development," he added.
"We are eager to build a team Evertonians can enjoy watching and be proud of, and Tyler can help us achieve that."
