Former Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham scout confirms big interest in Southampton sensation Tyler Dibling.
Tyler Dibling is one of the exciting names in the market ahead of next summer as he makes the most of his opportunities in the Premier League. After an excellent start to the campaign under Russel Martin, the teenage winger has made his presence felt with some interesting performances.
A host of clubs have monitored Dibling’s performances, as Southampton’s potential relegation could spark a bidding war. The Saints are secure with his future following a contract until 2027, but they are eager to keep him with the project for many years.
Southampton are keen to tie him down to a new deal to quash rumours about an imminent exit, although his performances have shown he is ready for a higher level. Talents like Dibling rarely emerge in the market, meaning top clubs will scramble for the winger.
Former Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham scout Mick Brown touched on the topic of Dibling and effectively confirmed that big clubs are interested in signing him. As reported earlier, Tottenham and Manchester United are among those interested, as Brown’s comments on Football Insider does state he could be on the move soon.
Brown said, “There’s definitely going to be interest in him. “Everybody I speak to speaks very highly of him, so we’ll see if any clubs act on their interest. “The major clubs in this country are always looking at clubs that might be going down and if they’ve got players who might become available.
“They’ll be looking at the young players at all of the struggling clubs and wondering whether they could snatch one if they go down. “You can bet your life there’ll be interest from all of the big clubs who will be watching him closely.”
“The same would be the case for any 18-year-old breaking into the first-team and doing well despite his club struggling.
“But I’m told clubs are definitely watching him and they’ll be considering making a move next summer.”
Dibling would have to make a big decision on his future as he may not look to drop down to the Championship. The winger’s suitors might have to make a big commitment towards signing him if the Saints go down at the end of the season.
There’s no indication of how much Southampton will demand for the exciting teenager, with the 18-year-old Premier League winger likely to cost a lot. Clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham may be prepared to sign the player for a significant fee, given he will have considerable experience in the Premier League by next summer.
