Southampton reportedly place large price tag on Dibling amid interest

Dibling has most recently been linked with Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig and Premier League side Tottenham but Southampton are not expected to sanction a transfer this month.

The 18 year old is currently out with an ankle injury sustained against Manchester United and is not expected to play for another month at least.

Ivan Juric recently insisted that remaining at Southampton would be the best thing for Dibling and pointed out that regular football is the most important thing for young players.
