Liverpool told Premier League wonderkid is THEIRS

Liverpool have been told that Southampton's Tyler Dibling is theirs if they want him. The 18-year-old is building a big reputation.

Liverpool are always on the hunt for the brightest young prospects in the game and it appears they have eyes on one more. Tyler Dibling, currently lighting it up for Southampton, is of interest.

Dibling made his Premier League debut this season and has been brilliant in a struggling Saints side. He's shown that across several positions, too, lining up in the middle and on the right flank - even a game up top.

The teenager could be the long-term solution to the Mo Salah problem, then. That problem being that the Egyptian is human and won't last forever.

Dibling, though, is available. Or at least, he's expected to be as Southampton will struggle to hold onto him if they go down this season.

It has Newcastle United interested, per the Daily Mail. However, the Magpies aren't just waiting on the Saints - they're also waiting on Liverpool.

Liverpool like Tyler Dibling

The interesting line in this one is that if Liverpool 'firm up' their interest in Dibling, they'll move straight to the front of the queue. It suggests that the Reds aren't quite all-in on the teenager but know that the moment they are, he's heading to Anfield.

The big question, then, is do Liverpool need him? Ben Doak is a bright prospect on that flank as it is, while Harvey Elliott is another who can cover the right flank.

But Dibling does appear to be a natural and unlike Doak, he's proving he can deliver in the Premier League. That will naturally interest Liverpool.

This is one to watch, then. Dibling is a bright prospect who just keeps getting brighter.

Liverpool also know the player will move to them over anyone else if they make their move - a pretty incredible bargaining position. And so we wait and see if it's a position the Reds want to take advantage of.
