# Southampton: Newcastle and Chelsea in race to sign Tyler Dibling

**[Southampton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/southampton-fc-news/) sensation Tyler Dibling could leave St. Mary’s this summer, according to Football Insider, with Newcastle United and Chelsea circling for his signature.**

### The Lowdown: Dibling’s progression

The 16-year-old worked his way up through the academy ranks on the south coast and has created a name for himself, becoming one of the most highly-rated young talents in England.

His impressive performances across the Saints’ various youth sides last season led him to earn a place [on the bench](https://www.flashscore.co.uk/match/tj2nbnmg/#/match-summary/lineups) with the senior first-team for their [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) fixture against Brentford back in May, but this attention has come with eyes elsewhere too, with an exit now looking possible.

### The Latest: Competition for Dibling

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-newcastle-and-chelsea-in-race-to-sign-southampton-sensation-tyler-dibling/?amp), Newcastle and Chelsea are ‘battling it out’ to sign Dibling, with the top-flight duo both ‘registering their interest’ in the ‘sensation’, who they view as a ‘star in the making’.

The source reveals that the Magpies have been ‘keeping tabs’ on the maestro ever since he netted a [hat-trick](https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1518698570576134144) of stunning goals against them in Premier League 2 in April.

It’s stated that the Blues, meanwhile, regard the prospect as a ‘huge talent’ who they feel would be an ‘ideal fit’ for their club as they look to freshen their youth system.

### The Verdict: Huge loss

If Southampton were to lose Dibling, it would be a real hammer blow considering he seemingly has the potential to go on and become a regular in Hasenhuttl’s starting XI in years to come.

Last season, the youngster, who was once [hailed](https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/ralph-hasenhuttl-tyler-dibling-southampton-7011150.amp) one of the academy’s ‘shining’ stars by the Austrian boss himself, made 13 goal contributions in just 22 appearances across all of the Saints’ youth competitions, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tyler-dibling/leistungsdaten/spieler/866655/plus/0?saison=2021).

Dibling may feel that making the move to perennial trophy-challengers Chelsea or newly-rich Newcastle is the right next step to take in his career though, which could make it extremely difficult for Southampton to stand in his way.
