Tottenham formulate plan to sign Tyler Dibling on loan in January
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly forged a plan to sign one of the most sought-after young players in the Premier League – Tyler Dibling – before the February 3 transfer deadline.
Tottenham backed to make a move for English starlet
Southampton winger Tyler Dibling has won many admirers since bursting onto the scene at the start of this season and the winger is reportedly attracting interest from several Premier League clubs as well as from across the continent.
Over recent days, the speculation linking him with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has gone into hyperdrive, with sources suggesting that the Lilywhites are keen to sign Dibling in the summer if they cannot do so in the current window.
However, a new update has now claimed that Spurs have formulated a plan to bring the England Under-21 international through the door before the window slams shut.
Tottenham plotting £50m move for Tyler Dibling
This update comes from TBR Football, who say that Spurs are now working on a deal to sign Dibling on loan with an obligation to buy in the summer.
It is revealed that the 18-year-old, whose current deal at St Mary’s runs until 2027, has told the Saints that he will not be signing a new contract.
The South Coast club are reluctant to sell their starlet mid-season and would demand £50m, which would be a record fee for the English teenager.
Spurs’ plan is to defer the payment of the fee until the end of the season by signing Dibling on an initial loan deal before February 3.
However, it is not yet clear whether this deal is dependent on the progress of Tottenham’s bid to sign Mathys Tel. Spurs have reportedly agreed a €60m fee with Bayern Munich but await the player’s decision. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham want to sign Tel and Dibling, or just one.
Could there be a bidding war for Dibling?
TBR Football explain that Tottenham have scouted and formulated reports on Dibling extensively for the last four months and are convinced about the youngster’s quality.
However, the report makes it clear that the Southampton man is generating ‘huge interest’ around England and Europe. Ivan Juric’s men are hoping that a bidding war will ensue for their academy graduate over the coming days and are not in a rush to sell.
