Tottenham are keen on signing the Southampton winger Tyler Dibling at the end of the season.
According to a report from TBR Football, the Premier League club will demand a fee in excess of £50 million for the highly-rated attacker.
Tottenham tried to sign the player during the January transfer window, but they failed to get the deal across the line. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay up in the summer.
Even though the asking price might seem steep, the player has the quality to justify the investment in the long term. The opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for him as well. He is highly rated across the country and he is expected to develop into a top-class Premier League attacker. Spurs could nurture him into a future star.
The North London club have the financial resources to get the deal across the line, and it will be interesting to see if they are ready to pay up. They will need to improve the other areas of their squad as well.
Meanwhile, Southampton have had a disappointing season and they are one of the favourites to go down this season. They are unlikely to be in the Premier League next season and Dibling will not want to compete in the Championship next season. He has made it clear to the Saints that he will not sign a new deal with them. It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to pay in excess of £50 million for him.
Chelsea and Manchester United are keen on the player as well. They have the resources to get the deal done and Spurs must act quickly if they want to win the race for a signature.
Chelsea and Manchester United are lacking in depth in the wide areas and Dibling would be a long-term investment for them. He will add some much-needed cutting edge and unpredictability in the final third and he could help all three teams improve.
