Southampton’s Tyler Dibling is a name that continues to pop up in Newcastle United’s search for a winger.
As we approach the January transfer window, Newcastle United’s priority is to sign a right winger.
The Magpies failed to sign a winger in the summer despite a deadline-day bid for Anthony Elanga, and it remains a top priority heading into 2025.
Newcastle have struggled in front of goal and Eddie Howe has found it difficult to balance his front three. Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes both want to play off the left, while some of Joelinton’s best performances have also come from out wide.
A right-winger would freshen up the squad and add a new dynamic in attack. In terms of transfer targets, Southampton’s Tyler Dibling appears to be towards the top of the list.
