Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Southampton winger Tyler Dibling at the end of the season.
According to a report from Football Insider, the 18-year-old attacker could cost around £20-30 million.
Former Tottenham scout Mick Brown has now revealed that Tottenham are watching him closely and they would like to sign him in the future.
“I think he’s one player they will be looking to sign,” he told Football Insider.
“They’ve been watching him this season, and if they think he’s good enough to improve upon what they’ve got, then he could join the other young players they have.”
Dibling has impressed with his performances in the Premier League, even though Southampton have struggled as a team. They are one of the favourites to go down to the Championship and the young winger will want to move on in the summer.
He will want to compete at a high level and the opportunity to join Tottenham could be quite exciting. The 18-year-old is too good for the Championship and staying in the Premier League would be ideal for him.
Tottenham need to add more depth to their attacking unit, and the winger could prove to be the ideal acquisition. He will add pace, flair, and creativity to the side from the wide areas. Although he is a right-sided winger, Dibling is versatile enough to operate on either flank. His versatility could be a bonus for Tottenham.
The reported asking price is certainly affordable for a club with Tottenham’s resources, and it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal across the line.
