Southampton prodigy Tyler Dibling is reportedly attracting interest from 'all of the big clubs' in England ahead a potential transfer next summer.

Southampton are reportedly prepared for interest from top Premier League clubs for Tyler Dibling next summer.

The 18-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough year in the top flight so far, leading to the Saints starting the process of offering the attacker a new contract at the club.

Dibling has made seven appearances in the Premier League for Southampton this season, starting four of those, impressing massively as both a winger or a second striker.

The youngster netted his first-ever senior goal in the 1-1 draw with newly-promoted Ipswich Town on September 21, opening the scoring at St Mary's.

As a collective, Southampton have struggled massively so far, earning just the single point across their first seven matches, leaving them in 19th position in the Premier League standings.

Southampton's Dibling attracting 'all of the big clubs'

According to recruitment specialist Mick Brown via Football Insider, Southampton could face serious difficulty in keeping Dibling at the conclusion of the campaign.

The report claims that "all of the big clubs" are casting a watchful eye over the progress of the 18-year-old, who has started brightly in the Premier League this term.

It is understood that Southampton will be the target of top-flight vultures should the South-coast club suffer an immediate relegation to the Championship.

Major clubs in the Premier League are supposedly always on the lookout for promising players from demoted sides who could be available over the summer.

Dibling's current terms expire during the summer of 2026, explaining Southampton's desire to press on with a new deal for the winger.

Who could sign Dibling?

During the opening weeks of the Premier League season, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have experienced the most links to Southampton's Dibling.

Erik ten Hag's Red Devils have suffered from the youngster's talents this season, with the 18-year-old tormenting Diogo Dalot on the right flank during a league fixture on September 14.

Signing the likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall over the summer, Spurs' strategy of recruiting high-potential talent is clear, and Dibling would certainly fit that billing.
