Morecambe set to go bust on Monday if takeover deal is not signed

Morecambe Football Club will go out of business on Monday unless 'immediate action' takes place, the clubs prospective buyers have said. Panjab Warriors have been in talks to buy the club from Jason Whittingham's Bond Group Investments and issued a statement on Thursday alongside a minority shareholders action group appealing for a deal to be signed. The statement said that Morecambe's academy will cease operations by the end of the week and that the club will 'officially shut' on Monday. 'Panjab Warriors are ready and have reached out daily to complete this acquisition,' the statement added. 'We implore Jason to sign the deal immediately so that this proud club can be saved and its 105-year legacy preserved. 'The fans, the minority shareholders, the community, and your own stakeholders all want the same thing: for this Club to survive.' The group had issued a statement on Wednesday saying that the first team has stopped all football operations as the required insurance has lapsed. Earlier this week, the National League confirmed that the club's membership had been suspended with immediate effect until August 20 when the league's Compliance and Licensing Committee will meet again.

Everton eye Tyler Dibling as David Moyes targets six more signings

Everton are interested in Southampton 's Tyler Dibling as David Moyes steps up his search for a right winger. The Merseyside club have reportedly had a £27m bid for the teenager rejected by the relegated club. Moyes wants six more signings as he looks to bolster Everton's slender squad by the end of the transfer window. Everton lost two wingers at the end of last season, when Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom's loan spells at Goodison Park ended. And they have turned to the England Under-21 international, who scored four goals in 38 games in a breakthrough campaign for Southampton. Saints had put a £100m price on Dibling a few months ago, which the 19-year-old said was a source of amusement to his teammates. But they could sell more players following their demotion to the Championship, with Kamaldeen Sulemana, Paul Onuachu and Jan Bednarek already leaving. Adam Lallana has retired, Kyle Walker-Peters has departed on a free transfer and Aaron Ramsdale could join Newcastle on loan. Everton have only made three signings so far this summer, buying goalkeeper Mark Travers from Bournemouth, forward Thierno Barry from Villarreal and the former Southampton midfielder Charly Alcaraz, who was on loan at the club last season, from Flamengo.
