Ex-Tottenham hero Van der Vaart has pinched the club, accusing them of overspending on signings. Noticeably, Southampton prodigy Dibling is their top target. Is Vaart hinting to them against this move?
Tell me, did your mind never trifle as to why, of all rumors for Dibling, him to Tottenham is the most heard one? Well, that's because of how the two clubs have evolved historically in their operations.
You would admit that while Southampton is among the finest talent factories in the Top Flight, Tottenham is best at developing players.
And it's effective result? The crossover of various star players like Gareth Bale and Kyle Walker-Peters between the two clubs.
Concisely, that's why this transfer link makes ultimate sense in all terms.
But, hey ever seen blockbuster pieces conclude without a twist, never right? Well, neither will this most anticipated summer transfer move materialize that way.
So what has happened is that Tottenham icon Rafael Van der Vaart seems to have hinted against this Dibling move.
Recently, speaking to TalkSport on his former club's season struggles, Vaart seemed worried over their overspending issue.
Is Van der Vaart's claim a hint for halting Dibling's move?
In his follow-up remarks, as quoted by TBR Football, Vaart said: “You can buy less players and buy better ones and pay a little bit more. But now these days, they pay money for normal players.”
Now, obviously, prodigy Tyler Dibling is Tottenham's priority summer target. That's why the club icon's concern seems a bit aimed towards this rumored move.
But, even if it is or if it is not, Southampton fans are totally helpless in this situation.
Why? Because of Dibling's unconvincing stint post-injury. Had it been some months ago, maybe the supporters might have spoken defending him, but currently it's not the case.
And if it isn't that way, the case ain't actually anything.
Now, until Vaart clarifies this himself, we might never know the reality, which feels like the most probable situation.
Nevertheless, this remark has surely added some necessary spice to the Dibling transfer saga. Where do you see Dibling heading to, next season?
