A Southampton wonderkid may be on the radar of Manchester City
As Manchester City continue their rebuild this summer, they will seek to sign players who can contribute now for Pep Guardiola’s side but also build for the future. The January signings of Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Nico represent this line of thinking. All three players can play now and have their best years ahead of them. It’s a model that City typically follow with their signings. Now Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling is reportedly being monitored by Manchester City. He is a player that fits that model and could immediately slot into Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Florian Plettenberg has reported via X that Manchester City and Tottenham have shown concrete interest in signing Tyler Dibling from Southampton. Furthermore, Plettenberg reports that Dibling has also caught the eye of Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.
Tyler Dibling has the potential to develop into a top player and it’s clear to see why Manchester City would be eager to sign him.
This season Tyler Dibling has impressed for Southampton. Although it has been a difficult season for the Saints Dibling’s performances have caught the eye. He has shown that is a good player now with the potential to develop into a great player in time.
This season Tyler Dibling has predominantly played on the right wing for Southampton. Although, he has also played upfront and as an attacking midfielder at times. Watching Dibling play you do feel that he could develop into a quality number 10 in time. That’s the type of player Pep Guardiola’s squad is screaming out for.
Tyler Dibling is an immense dribbler, especially for a player so young. That has caught the eye this season. For a 19-year-old, his dribbling and strength do stand out in his play. Dibling also can draw fouls in a similar manner to that of Jack Grealish. The Southampton starlet is a direct dribbler and his close control is superb. Those are attributes that could see him develop into a quality number 10.

Dibling is also a threat going forward. He has an eye for goal and in a better team you sense that he could develop into a 10-15 plus goal scorer a season. For now, Dibling isn’t a massive threat in terms of his passing but the base is there for him to refine that part of his game. Tyler Dibling is one of the brightest young English prospects in the game which makes him an ideal target for Manchester City.
It’s easy to see why Manchester City have an interest in signing Tyler Dibling. The Southampton starlet has the potential to become a fine player in time. Whether or not City move for him in the summer is a story to monitor but he is clearly a player who could thrive in the Manchester City set up based on what he’s already shown during his young career.
