Crystal Palace Consider Ambitious Summer Move for Southampton’s Tyler Dibling
Crystal Palace is reportedly planning a bold summer transfer for highly-rated forward Tyler Dibling. Former scout Mick Brown has revealed that the club is closely monitoring the young talent. However, securing Dibling’s services won’t come cheap, as his current club, Southampton, is demanding a starting price of at least £55 million.
Palace’s summer transfer plans are already taking shape following a strong resurgence under manager Oliver Glasner. Despite a challenging start to the season, the Eagles have turned their fortunes around and are now looking to strengthen their squad.
One area of focus is finding a replacement for Marc Guehi, who has attracted significant interest from several top clubs. Southampton’s Taylor Harwood-Bellis has emerged as a potential target, with Palace keeping a close eye on the defender. Glasner is also keen to bolster the attack, with Liverpool’s Ben Doak and Lewis Koumas reportedly on the club’s radar.
In addition to these targets, Palace is thought to be eyeing Southampton’s wonderkid Tyler Dibling. According to Mick Brown, Dibling is one of the players on Palace’s radar, with the club joining Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign the talented youngster. Brown suggested that Palace’s ability to offer first-team football could give them an edge over other suitors.
“Dibling is one of the names on their radar,” Brown said via FootballFanCast. “Palace has been looking at him, and I think they’ll be in the mix with the likes of Tottenham, who we’ve spoken about before, for his signature. They’ll be more likely to be able to offer first-team football, which could be a big thing for them. It might be an ambitious move when you look at the interest in him, but I don’t doubt Palace will be interested and will want to see if that deal is possible.”
While Palace’s pursuit of Dibling is ambitious, the club is not expected to shy away from exploring the possibility of a deal. However, any move for the 19-year-old will likely come with a hefty price tag, as Southampton highly values the young forward. Reports suggest the Saints could demand around £55 million, or potentially even more, for Dibling’s transfer.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Crystal Palace is positioning itself to make significant moves to build on their recent progress under Glasner. The potential acquisition of Tyler Dibling could be a statement signing, signaling the club’s intent to compete at a higher level in the Premier League.
