Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Southampton attacker Tyler Dibling during the summer transfer window, but his price tag could be a problem.
According to Football Insider, Dibling is valued at around £55 million, and Tottenham are unwilling to pay that kind of money for the 19-year-old attacker. They were hoping to sign the player during the January transfer window, and they are likely to join the race for him once again this summer.
It will be interesting to see if Southampton are willing to negotiate a more reasonable deal for the England under-21 international. The player was valued at £100 million a few weeks ago.
Tottenham could use Dibling
Tottenham have shown a willingness to invest in talented young players, and it is no surprise that they are keen on the 19-year-old. He was impressive in the Premier League this past season, despite Southampton’s struggles, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class player for Tottenham with the right guidance. They need more quality and depth on the flanks, and the 19-year-old will add pace, flair and unpredictability to the side.
It is fair to assume that Dibling will be attracted to the idea of joining a big club like Tottenham. They have secured Champions League football for the next season, and he will want to compete in Europe.
Tyler Dibling is an elite prospect
Meanwhile, the player is reportedly on the radar of Manchester United and Liverpool as well. It remains to be seen where he ends up. Tottenham need to improve their squad if they want to bounce back strongly, and signing talented young players like him would be a wise decision.
The 19-year-old has been likened to Chelsea star Cole Palmer because of his playing style. It will be interesting to see if he can secure a move to the Premier League in the coming weeks. He has also been hailed as a “special” talent.
