Tottenham transfer news: Spurs receive major boost in pursuit of Southampton star Tyler Dibling?

The 19-year-old has attracted interest from around Europe so far during the 2024-25 campaign, with Spurs said to be actively plotting a move for the player over the summer.

Dibling burst onto the Premier League scene in September, when he gave Manchester United and Portugal full-back Diogo Dalot a difficult afternoon at St Mary's Stadium.

Since then, the former Chelsea academy player has netted twice in the top flight for the struggling Saints, as well as a brace in the FA Cup success over Swansea City in January.

Since earning his first-team debut on the South Coast during Southampton's promotion-winning season of 2023-24, Dibling has featured on 31 occasions.

Tottenham learn of positive update regarding Dibling hunt?

According to TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur have learnt of a major update as they look to secure the services of Southampton star Dibling in the near future.

The report states that the teenager is currently unwilling to sign a contract extension on the South Coast, where the Saints look destined for relegation to the Championship.

It is understood that Ivan Juric's side are open to parting ways with the talent over the summer window, with Southampton targeting at least £50m from the potential sale.

Dibling's current deal at St Mary's Stadium expires at the conclusion of the 2026-27 term, meaning that the Saints are in prime position to drive a hard bargain for the winger's signature.

Whilst the Englishman is supposedly wanted by a number of top Premier League clubs, it is believed that Ange Postecoglou's men are currently at the front of the queue for the player.

Tottenham's transfer strategy

After over a decade without a major trophy to add to their cabinet in North London, Tottenham have taken a new approach to building a title-winning side.

Spurs have focused on the capture of promising young players in recent times, with the likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall moving to the club over the summer.

There were also some signings with the potential to explode into world-class stars during the winter trading point in the form of Mathys Tel and Antonin Kinsky.
