Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs monitoring the situation of Southampton sensation Tyler Dibling, sources have told Football Insider.
Dibling, 19, is expected to leave relegated Southampton in the summer transfer window – which opens on 1 June.
Tottenham held a strong interest in the winger and submitted bids in January but sources say it is now an “open race” for the England Under-21 international’s signature.
Football Insider revealed on Friday (30 May) that Spurs remain keen on Dibling but will not meet his reported £55million price tag.

He is expected to have a big market in the summer window despite a drop off in form following Russell Martin‘s sacking at St Mary’s Stadium.
The teenager made 38 first-team appearances in a breakthrough 2024-25 campaign, scoring four goals and notching three assists across all competitions.
Dibling primarily plays on the right wing but can also feature as an attacking midfielder and centre-forward.
