Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Southampton winger Tyler Dibling.

According to Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas, the 18-year-old is valued at £55 million and any club hoping to sign him will have to pay up. Chelsea and Aston Villa are keen on securing his signature as well.

Dibling has established himself as a key player for Southampton this season and his performances have been rather impressive in the Premier League. He is likely to improve with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a key player for Tottenham in the long term.

However, the asking price is quite steep, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can afford him. They need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and it is fair to assume that they could be priced out of a move for the English winger.

Dibling will be attracted to the idea of playing for some of the biggest clubs in the country and the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea will be attractive destinations for him. It remains to be seen whether the Blues are ready to shell out £55 million in order to get the deal done.

The winger is highly rated across the country and former Premier League star Danny Murphy feels that Dibling could develop into something special in future.

Murphy said to BBC: “It is the quality he has got – the belief in himself and the physical power. He just goes past people with ease. He has got a lovely left foot. He is very brave on the ball and his decision-making is good.

“It is difficult to get too over the top with these young players, because he has just come on to the scene, but he is going to be something special.

“It is great for him getting all these minutes at Southampton. They are giving him the freedom to play and giving him time to learn the game.

“He is just enjoying himself and he is playing with a real belief in himself. He is just instrumental in this team.”

Tottenham need attacking reinforcements and the 18-year-old will add some much-needed unpredictability and cutting edge to their side. It remains to be seen whether they can convince Southampton to accept a more reasonable fee for the player.
