Southampton star Tyler Dibling has emerged as one of the most highly-sought players ahead of the summer transfer window.
A host of Premier League clubs are interested in Dibling, including Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City as well as from abroad with the likes of Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig also scouting the player.
Spurs see themselves as favourites to sign the Saints youngster but are aware of the strong interest from others. Both Man United and Man City have reportedly also enquired about the 19-year-old.
With Southampton set to be demoted back to the Championship, they will have trouble keeping hold of their main players, including Dibling. However, they do not plan to let their most prized asset leave easily.
Southampton to demand a staggering £100m for Tyler Dibling
According to the latest report from Matt Law of The Telegraph, the Saints are set to demand a fee in excess of £100m for the young attacker. This staggering demand is being made in an effort to fend off interest from potential suitors.
Southampton’s demand is set to complicate things, given that Dibling has reportedly informed the club that he does not intend to sign a contract extension, with his current contract expiring in the summer of 2026.
This means that if the club does not sell him this summer, they will risk losing him on a free the year after. It is highly unlikely that any club, especially Tottenham, will be willing to pay excessively for him when they can sign him for free in 2026.
Dibling has been compared to Jack Grealish and Gareth Bale
Dibling is enjoying an ‘outstanding’ breakthrough season with the Saints, emerging as one of their best young players. He made his debut against Newcastle and has since then established himself as a regular in the first-team.
He has shown incredible maturity and versatility, having played across various positions, including upfront and right-wing. In 30 appearances this season, he has scored 4 and assisted 2.
His impressive performances have seen Theo Walcott compare Dibling with Gareth Bale. Speaking to TalkSPORT, he said:
“He is an athlete. You can see the size of him already as well. It’s very much like the Gareth Bale sort of physique, and the way he has got a bit of swag about him on the field like a Jack Grealish type.”
