Tyler Dibling transfer: Tottenham make contact already amid £35m development
Tottenham have already made contact to sign Southampton forward Tyler Dibling in the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old has made his way through the youth ranks at the Saints and has been an influential player for them this season.
Ivan Juric’s team look set to drop back down to the Championship as Spurs eye a move for Dibling in the coming months.
Ange Postecoglou has shown faith in Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall this season, highlighting the trust being shown in youngsters at the North London outfit.
Tottenham believe around £35m enough for Dibling transfer
Spurs believe £35million should be enough to seal a move for Dibling in the summer transfer window, according to GiveMeSport.
The news outlet reports (5 March) that the Lilywhites are leading the race to sign the England Under-21 international next summer.
| Competition (2024/25) | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 23 | 2 | 0 |
| FA Cup | 2 | 2 | 0 |
| Carabao Cup | 3 | 0 | 2 |
It’s claimed that Southampton want to renew the forward’s contract, which expires in June 2026, but he’s expected to leave at the end of the season as the 19-year-old doesn’t want to drop down to the Championship.
Tottenham have already made contact with Dibling and are confident that agreeing on personal terms won’t be a problem.
Dibling part of long-term project at Spurs
Spurs will arguably need to replace Son Heung-min soon, with the South Korea international evidently past his prime.
The North London outfit have relied heavily on the 32-year-old over the years, but he has been unable to make a big enough mark this season.
Postecoglou has struggled to bring the best out of his team as they sit 13th in the English top flight.
Spurs have seen their Premier League prospects dip in the current campaign, and a major revamp must be on the cards in N17.
While Dibling has mostly played on the right-wing, the left-footed forward’s versatility could make him a decent option in Son’s position further down the line.
For now, it would be surprising to see the Southampton youngster be part of the North London outfit’s starting lineup immediately if he’s signed next summer.
The Lilywhites have Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore and Lucas Bergvall, who can play out wide.
Whether the 19-year-old will want to be a part of Spurs’ long-term plans remains to be seen.
