Man Utd part of Premier League quartet in Tyler Dibling race as asking price falls

Tyler Dibling has a lot of suitors this summer

The 19-year-old caught the eye during a disastrous season for Southampton which saw them relegated from the Premier League with just 12 points.

Dibling was one of a very few bright sparks of the campaign and may well make an immediate return to the top flight.

The Telegraph reported earlier this year that the Saints wanted an enormous £100m for their star player, but that always seemed farfetched.

While the teenager clearly has a lot of talent, he has made just 43 senior appearances and scored four goals.

However, Southampton still want a lot of money for him, with Sky reporting that €55–65m (£47.3-56m) is now the asking price for the England Under-21 international.

The report states Manchester United, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and West Ham all hold an interest in signing Dibling this summer.

Interest has not been confined to the Premier League, with the likes of Bayern Munich and Porto also thought to have been impressed by Dibling.

Speaking earlier this year, Dibling did not sound in a great rush to leave St Mary's, with such little experience behind him at this stage of his career.

'I don't try to think about it and just try and go into train every day and work hard and train the best I can,' he said of transfer speculation.

'If he's here, I'm sure he'll be the best version of himself and he'll be here and ready to help the squad.

'He's a quality player so people are undoubtedly going to be after him, people asking questions.

'But he's said – and I've said to him – that as long as he's here, he's a Southampton player and a good Southampton player. That's what he's been.'

Southampton begin their Championship campaign at home to Wrexham on Saturday August 9.
