‘I’m told…’: Tottenham keeping tabs on 18-year-old attacker ahead of potential move

Southampton winger Tyler Dibling has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.

The 18-year-old has made quite an impression in the Premier League this season and his performances have attracted the attention of the big clubs. According to former Premier League scout Michael Brown, all of the top clubs are tracking his progress ahead of a potential move next summer.

Brown has previously worked for Tottenham Hotspur as well and a report from Football Insider claims that the North London club is keen on the 18-year-old.

“There’s definitely going to be interest in him,” Brown told Football Insider.

“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 could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for the North London club if they can get a deal done. They could certainly use more quality and depth in the wide areas. The 18-year-old is capable of operating on either flank and he will add goals and creativity to the side. His ability to take on defenders and beat them in one-versus-one situations will add some much-needed cutting edge and unpredictability to the Spurs attack.

Tyler Dibling would be a superb addition

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for his signature, especially with several other clubs keen on signing him as well. Dibling is a prodigious talent with a bright future and he could develop into a top-class Premier League winger with the right guidance. 

Whoever ends up signing him will have a future star on their hands. 

Tottenham need more quality in the attack if they want to compete for major trophies. An exciting young winger could make a big difference for them. Tottenham are currently lacking a natural dribbler and Dibling could fill that void and add a new dimension to their attack. 

It remains to be seen whether Spurs follow up on their interest with an offer to sign the winger in the coming weeks.
