Premier League prodigy's head TURNED after Liverpool interest

Liverpool are always on the lookout for outstanding young talents. The Reds have had notable success in attracting the best of other teams’ biggest prospects in recent seasons.

Some have gone on to earn decent money for the club in transfer fees such as Bobby Clark, who joined Red Bull Salzburg last summer.

Others like Harvey Elliott and Conor Bradley have established themselves in the first team under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. Opportunities exist if the right player comes available and if reports are to be believed then Tyler Dibling would well be of interest.

The 19-year-old Southampton winger has come onto the radar of several big clubs as a result of his performances for the promoted side. Earlier this season transfer links emerged linking the England under-21 international with Newcastle United, among other sides.

In that report it was suggested that should Liverpool firm up their interest in Dibling then they would jump to the top of the queue for his signature.

It’s not known at this stage just how interested Liverpool are in Dibling but the suggestion is that he’s there for the taking.

Tyler Dibling's 'head turned'

Dibling’s own personal output has been under scrutiny of late. He’s not had the best of times so far in 2025, with Southampton set for an immediate return to the Championship.

An ankle injury earlier in the year disrupted his rhythm and the player’s form was discussed earlier this week by BBC Radio Solent host Adam Blackmore and former Saint Jo Tessem.

It was speculated that the Liverpool and Newcastle rumours had distracted Dibling, who is yet to put pen to paper on a new, long-term contract with the south coast club.

"He is certainly not the messiah everyone thought he was going to be when he came into the team," Blackmore said. "He was injured in January, but Ivan Juric has treated him quite carefully in terms of his minutes since.

"And some fans now speculate that he has had his head turned a little bit as he is yet to sign a new deal."

However, that was counteracted by Tessem, who noticed some deficiencies creeping into Dibling’s game.

"I don't think his head has been turned, but I do think the injury he suffered has perhaps impacted his rhythm," he said. "When you fall out of rhythm, especially when you are young, it is hard to get back to your fitness and routine.

"There are times when you can see his technique and talent, but then he has given the ball away too many times and not worked hard enough to recover it. I think his work rate is one thing he needs to improve on and be braver with.

"He needs to use his power to be stronger while he's still developing."
