Liverpool have joined the race for young English superstar. The player is likely to cost €60 million. He is highly versatile and was very good in recent season. He is also wanted by Chelsea and many others.
Liverpool are willing to sign some top players this summer. They have already started the summer window on strong note. The Reds have signed Frimpong and Wirtz from Leverkusen. The German star is reported to have costed him €150 million. Now, they are looking to add even more stars instead of stopping.
On the other hand, Chelsea are also keen to sign some top players. They will stick with their policy of signing young players. The Blues have never been shy whilst spending big ever since their takeover. Now, both Chelsea and Liverpool have one common player on their radar.
Liverpool to battle it out with Chelsea for 19 year old English star
The star in question here is Tyler Dibling of Southampton. He is 19 years old and can play in variety of positions. Firstly, he can play as both winger and striker. In addition, he can also serve as attacking midfielder and central midfielder. This makes him a key asset and increases his market value.
Southampton have been relegated to Championship. Hence, Dibling is likely to depart. The club is aware of this and have slapped €60 million asking price on him. Earlier, Leipzig made a bid of €35 million but it was quickly rejected.
Chelsea are holding interest in Dibling. According to Caught Offside, Liverpool have now joined the race as well. The 19 year old was also on radar of Man United but the Red Devils seem to have cooled their interest in him.
It will be interesting to see if any of Chelsea or Liverpool agree to pay €60 million for Dibling. The 19 year old surely has a very bright future ahead of him. But, he is still unproven at the top level due to which clubs can hesitate to pay as high as €60 million.
