The North Londoners will be in the market for a new forward when the summer transfer window comes around, and Daniel Levy is looking to stick with his newly adapted transfer policy of bringing in young players with plenty of potential who have the capacity to become a mainstay at Hotspur Way in years to come, and the Lilywhites have been looking at Southampton sensation Tyler Dibling.
Taking strides at St. Mary’s
Dibling has been captivating the fans with his performances donning the Saints badge; he has not only impressed everyone with his skill set but also with his ability to create chaos in the opposition’s backline, and Ange Postecoglou would love to have someone like him within his ranks to count on. The need for the teenager stems from Spurs struggles this season; the Premier League heavyweights have been finding it extremely difficult to break defences in stale situations, and this is where someone like Dibling, who is very different from Brennan Johnson, can come to aid given that the 19-year-old has the ability to create passes and operate in tight spaces that can break those stubborn coaches blocks.
The wide forward is said to be priced at around £30-35m, but should the North Londoners be spending that?

Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit of Dibling, with multiple clubs interested in acquiring his signature, with Bayern Munich being among the suitors, but things are set to get more complicated as another German giant, Bayer Leverkusen, has entered the race to sign the 19-year-old, per Givemesport.
Leverkusen has been known to give young talents the needed space and opportunity to succeed, and we have seen a lot of players coming out of BayArena, including Tottenham Hotspur icon Heung-Min Son.
This just means more work for Levy
For Tottenham and Daniel Levy, they have to now assure that the Lilywhites can offer not just financials of a possible transfer but also a clear pathway for his development. Given how the players have succeeded under Xabi Alonso of late, it could end up being a significant draw for Dibling. While there have been question marks over Ange Postecoglou’s future and his project at N17, the Australian head coach has the ability to integrate a playing style that revolves massively around the teenager and his strengths.
