West Ham scouts have been keeping a close eye on Southampton sensation Tyler Dibling ahead of the January transfer window, according to Caught Offside.
It is reported that the Hammers “have been monitoring” Dibling’s performances so far this season for the Saints, as Julen Lopetegui struggles to unlock his attackers.
Southampton have set an asking price of “at least” £20.6 million with scouts from Man Utd, Chelsea and Tottenham also keeping a close eye on the 18-year-old.
Tyler Dibling would be a shrewd signing for West Ham
If there is one position that is cemented in the Hammers side it would be the right wing.
Jarrod Bowen has been outstanding for the Irons in an otherwise dismal season and his performance against Wolves showcased that.

Dibling typically operates in the same area of the pitch but with him being just 18 years old, his acquisition could be an excellent bit of business and provide the succession plan for when Bowen does eventually move on.
Dibling has made 14 appearances for the struggling Saints so far this campaign, registering his first Premier League goal in that time.

The 18-year-old has made the step up to Premier League football seamlessly and with years of development ahead of him, West Ham would be silly not to look into a deal in January.
Likened to Jack Grealish, Dibling is a very technical player with the ability to create something from nothing and he would be an excellent addition to the Irons.
