Tottenham want Tyler Dibling but Southampton may make them wait
Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs vying for Tyler Dibling’s signature, but the Saints are digging in their heels as they look to secure the player’s future.
Southampton’s prized asset catches attention
Earlier today, reports surfaced linking Tottenham Hotspur with a potential move for Southampton’s highly rated winger Tyler Dibling.
This comes at a time when Tottenham are grappling with a growing injury crisis in their attacking department, with players such as Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, and Timo Werner all set to be sidelined for extended periods.
Southampton are well aware of the interest in their young prospect and are believed to be determined to hold on to Dibling, viewing him as a key part of their future plans.
The player is currently under contract until 2027, and the Saints are reportedly keen to extend that agreement even further to ward off interest from potential suitors.
Southampton reject offers as competition heats up for Tottenham target Tyler Dibling
Now, recent reports from Florian Plettenberg on X, reveal that Tottenham Hotspur still remain the biggest competitor to RB Leipzig in the race to sign Tyler Dibling.
The journalist also reveals that Southampton have rejected all offers for the player and remains steadfast in their intention to retain him, with plans to offer a contract extension that goes beyond his current deal.
Leipzig, however, are said to be acutely aware of the competition, particularly from English clubs, and continues to pursue the teenager’s services.
Tottenham’s priorities and Southampton’s demands
Sky Sports News (16:17 on 21/01/25) have also confirmed Tottenham’s interest in Tyler Dibling. However, they suggest that a move for the winger in this window remains unlikely.
According to the outlet, Tottenham’s primary focus during this transfer period is reportedly on signing a striker, with Dominic Solanke’s injury sharpening their urgency to reinforce their attacking options.
Southampton, meanwhile, are understood to be demanding a significantly higher fee than the £25 million that RB Leipzig are willing to pay for Dibling.
This valuation reflects not only the club’s belief in the player’s potential but also their reluctance to part ways with such a promising talent at a crucial stage of his development.
