Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United are just a few of the clubs who have been linked with Southampton star Tyler Dibling.
Dibling was one of Southampton’s standout players during a season in which they only just avoided Derby County’s all-time low Premier League points total.
The 19-year-old is expected to leave Southampton this summer amid widespread Premier League interest, with Man United, Tottenham, Nottm Forest and West Ham all in pursuit.
Now, former West Ham director Tim Steidten has made a transfer claim about Dibling which will be of interest to all of the chasing pack.
Tyler Dibling tipped to make Premier League move instead of Bundesliga switch
Sky Sport Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg took to X to share the latest on Tyler Dibling’s transfer situation.
He said Southampton are yet to receive a concrete offer for Dibling, who they value at £47.5-56million, but there have been many enquiries.
Plettenberg then shared quotes from Steidten, who told Sky Sport Germany that he expected Dibling to be too expensive for the Bundesliga.
“He is an outstanding player – with that street football mentality, that special dynamism,” said Steidten.
“He is a player who can suddenly stop, turn, and accelerate again. His first touch is exceptional. He has immense potential.
“I believe he will end up being too expensive for a German club, which is why I think he will move within England.”
How Tyler Dibling could become Paul Gascoigne 2.0
Tottenham are one of the teams who are keen on Dibling. Indeed, TBR Football previously confirmed that Spurs felt they were favourites for Dibling.
Theo Walcott previously claimed Dibling reminded him of Paul Gascoigne, one of Tottenham’s cult heroes from the 1990s.
“Do you know what, he’s the closest to a Gascoigne type or a Grealish type,” Walcott previously told the Premier League media team.
“He doesn’t just like to go forward, he likes to track back, the things I would despise to be honest.
“He’ll probably end up getting a move sadly, but it’s the sign of an academy that has produced some really good players.”
