Tyler Dibling is "certain" to seek a summer transfer away from Southampton if the Saints are relegated this season. Relegation appears to be a dead cert.
There might still be some Southampton fans clinging to the optimism of keeping ahold of Tyler Dibling. Unfortunately, the more time that elapses, the more we are beginning to feel like this optimism is toxic and will only lead to disappointment.
Tyler Dibling has been the breakout star for Southampton this season. While there has been little to cheer about at St James Park, Tyler Dibling's rising to the top has been at least worthy of appreciation. It is difficult to comprehend his youth, considering he plays more maturely than most of the other players in the squad.
Tyler Dibling is "certain" to leave a relegated Southampton
According to a report from Mick Brown on Football Insider, Tyler Dibling is "certain" to leave Southampton if the club is relegated this season. Given their rock-bottom position, it is difficult to envision Southampton avoiding the inevitable, so we should brace for Tyler Dibling to leave this summer.
And Dibling won't be without his options elsewhere. Indeed, a number of top clubs in the Premier League are lining up to sign him, including (but not limited to) Spurs, Liverpool and Manchester United.
It is easy to see why the top clubs are lining up to sign Tyler Dibling. After all, he is going to be a top player in the future, having shown many signs of brilliance already in the Southampton jersey.
Showing the skillset and coolness similar to Cole Palmer, it will be bittersweet to see Tyler Dibling spread his wings. However, it is not the first time Southampton have lost a brilliant young talent and it won't be the last either.
