Gareth Bale is a Tottenham legend.
The Welshman joined Spurs as an unassuming 17-year-old from Southampton for a sum of £5m, before going on to score 71 goals and provide 53 assists in 237 appearances across two spells at Tottenham.
Tottenham also earned a then world-record fee of £85.3m when selling the man from Cardiff to Real Madrid back in September 2013.
The brilliance of Gareth Bale is now nothing but a memory for Tottenham fans to cling on to, but the heir to his throne is likely to join this summer in Tyler Dibling.
Tottenham backed as the most likely club to sign Tyler Dibling
In an article from talkSPORT – which explains the latest transfer developments at Manchester United – this exciting claim was made.
It is said that the Red Devils are keen to sign Dibling – who Theo Walcott likened to Gareth Bale – but Spurs are then described as the ‘most concrete suitor’ for the Southampton No.33 this summer.
It comes after the 19-year-old enjoyed a breakout season with the Saints last term, scoring four goals and providing three assists across 38 appearances.
How much Tyler Dibling could cost Spurs with Southampton No.33 keen on switch to N17
TBR Football understand Dibling is keen to join Tottenham this summer after Southampton were relegated to the Championship, finishing bottom of the Premier League on a measly 12 points.
Southampton annoyed Tottenham by going public with a £100m valuation of the England U21 international back in March – according to the Telegraph.
However, a sale could materialise for roughly half of that fee.
