The midfielder has been one of the only bright sparks in a season which has seen the Saints left rooted to the bottom of the table.
Tyler Dibling has impressed since breaking into the Southampton team
Manager Russell Martin has given Dibling a huge amount of game time and he's responded by putting in a string of eye-catching performances.
He particularly impressed during the Saints' fiery 1-1 draw with Brighton, a performance which drew praise from a number of pundits.
DIbling, 18, has now caught the eye of two Prem giants.
Manchester United and Aston Villa have both sent scouts to watch his last three games and he's believed to be on the radar of clubs in Germany and Italy as well.
It's likely any deal for the player would be in the summer as Southampton are not ready to sell with relegation a looming threat.
But if the Saints do finish in the bottom three they could struggle to keep hold of the player.
Dibling has scored one goal this season and has won praise from Danny Murphy, who labelled him "instrumental" to Southampton.
He said on Match of the Day: "It is the quality he has got - the belief in himself and the physical power. He just goes past people with ease. He has got a lovely left foot. He is very brave on the ball and his decision-making is good.
"It is difficult to get too over the top with these young players, because he has just come on to the scene, but he is going to be something special.
"It is great for him getting all these minutes at Southampton. They are giving him the freedom to play and giving him time to learn the game.
"He is just enjoying himself and he is playing with a real belief in himself. He is just instrumental in this team."
