The latest Tyler Dibling transfer news has revealed that Tottenham have joined RB Leipzig in the pursuit of the Southampton star.
Dibling has been the one bright spark in an otherwise hugely unforgettable season for the Saints. On their return to the Premier League, the south coast side have mustered up just six points from 22 games.
Their only win came against Everton in November. Manager Ivan Juric recently replaced Russell Martin but it appears the Croatian will need a miracle to preserve the club’s top-flight status.
Dibling is certainly destined for a bright future in the game and his form this season hasn’t gone unnoticed. He probably won’t manage the miracle on his own but he could certainly shine elsewhere if he does move on.
In September, Dibling was linked with Manchester United after he shone in the league game at St Mary’s. The 18-year-old ran Diogo Dalot ragged and even won a penalty.
Dibling’s rise has been meteoric since he lashed home an almost identical hat-trick for the youth side in a fixture against Newcastle at St James’ Park.
This season, the Soton star has appeared 20 times in England’s elite and netted twice and earned rave reviews from fans and pundits alike. Dibling also has two caps for the Three Lions U21 side.

Tyler Dibling Transfer News
According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, RB Leipzig’s main threat for Tyler Dibling’s signature comes in the form of Tottenham.
The Lilywhites have endured a Jekyll and Hyde campaign so far in 2024/25. Even the next Spurs manager odds suggest a plethora of names are ready to take over if Ange Postecoglou is given the boot.
Whether Postecoglou stays or goes, moving to north London will certainly be an appealing option for Dibling. Even though Southampton have reportedly rejected all offers for their starlet.
The Saints are also trying to extend his contract beyond 2027. However, if the south coast side get relegated, Dibling looks sure to leave.
His talents are beyond the levels of the EFL Championship and a move away from St Mary’s looks likely. Leipzig will likely hold an advantage over Spurs.
The Bundesliga side are currently 5th and are more likely to be able to offer European football next year. However, staying in the Premier League to nurture his skills further might suit Dibling better owing to his age.
With Spurs next in action against Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday, Dibling could be watching on with keen interest.
Ahead of the match, the best football betting sites in the UK make the north Londoners the 11/9 favourites. The draw can be backed at 29/10 with The Kraichgauers available at 59/29.
