Daniel Levy ‘will be in hysterics’ after ‘staggering’ Tottenham transfer news
Daniel Levy will already be sighing at the size of the task ahead of him at Tottenham this summer transfer window.
Tottenham have had a disastrous 2024-25 season as they sit 14th in the Premier League with just nine games left to play after missing out on domestic cup glory.
Spurs face the prospect of being without Champions League football next term if they do not go all the way in the UEFA Europa League, where they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-final in April.
That would lead to several players potentially leaving the North London giants, with the likes of Cristian Romero said to be assessing their next move.
Southampton demand £100million for Tottenham target Tyler Dibling
Meanwhile, Levy is already laying the groundwork to strengthen the ranks at Tottenham this summer, with Tyler Dibling emerging as a priority target.
Southampton are certain to sell Dibling when their inevitable relegation to the Championship is confirmed, according to the Telegraph.
The newspaper reported via their website on Wednesday (26 March) that Tottenham are firmly in the race to sign the 19-year-old and are expected to return to the negotiating table after making enquiries to sign him in the winter transfer window.

| 25 | 17 | 1542′ | 2 | 0 | 6 | 0 | 83.1% |
Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have also kept tabs on the attacker this season, meaning Southampton are expected to have strong interest.
Despite their own situation, the Saints are prepared to adopt a ‘hardline stance’ on Dibling’s future as they value him at over £100million.
Southampton believe the teenager is one of the best youngsters in English football and are ready to demand a ‘staggering’ fee for his transfer.
Levy to scoff at Dibling transfer news
It is evident that Tottenham have invested a significant amount of time into their efforts to sign Dibling.
However, make no mistake, Southampton’s valuation of the Exeter-born forward will have left Levy in hysterics.
Dibling’s age and versatility make him an attractive option for Spurs, but anyone aware of the chairman’s way of working will know that he will not go to any lengths to secure a target if he deems the effort not worthy enough.
Levy could invest £100m to sign one or even two players who could significantly strengthen the North London giants’ squad immediately, instead of splurging it on Dibling.
