In a recent report, journalist Callum O’Connell claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring Southampton winger Tyler Dibling. It has been claimed that Spurs would have to rival Manchester United in the race to land the English wide player.
Dibling’s Decent Run Of Form In The Premier League
Dibling has made a positive start to this Premier League campaign after he put in a string of impressive displays on the right side of Southampton’s attack. The 18-year-old has scored one goal and picked up a couple of assists in nine matches for the Saints last season across multiple competitions.
The English talent has been a decent contributor in the final third as he is averaging 1.0 shots, 1.0 key passes and 1.6 dribbles per game in the Premier League. He has also been excellent when distributing possession in the opponent’s half based on his pass completion rate of 85% in the English top tier (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the English club will expire in the summer of 2027 which could make it difficult for Spurs to get a deal done for him on the cheap next year.
Should Tottenham Hotspur Ange Postecoglu Snap Dibling Up?
Dibling is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can use his pace well to get in behind the opponent’s backline at every chance he gets. He can create some decent openings for his teammates to find the back of the net and can strike the ball with power and precision from long range.
We can expect Dibling to add more firepower to Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglu’s attack. He is good enough to challenge for some major trophies over the next decade.
At 18, the future looks quite promising for Dibling as long as he continues to improve with each season. He has already got some Premier League experience under his belt and could go on to be a future star at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Thus, Postecoglu would be wise to try everything in his power to snap Dibling up this January or at the end of this campaign. However, Spurs need to be patient with his development before they can get the best out of the talented winger.
