Heung-min Son was spotted in deep conversation with a player Tottenham Hotspur appreciate and could soon become a key target.
Tottenham have recently been targeting younger players with the likes of Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, Yang Min-Heyok and Luka Vuskovic being added to their squad.
The North London club now have their eyes on another top young talent and they will hope Son put in a good word for them.
Heung-min Son spotted talking to Tyler Dibling who Tottenham like
Heung-min Son was spotted talking to Tyler Dibling after Tottenham defeated Southampton 5-0. The winger looked to be showing his appreciation for the teenager who has been impressing at St Mary’s.
TBR Football understands that Spurs like Dibling and he ticks a lot of the boxes they are looking to fill. The North London club could target another forward and the right-sided winger could be the perfect fit.
However, the Lilywhites will face competition for his signature as TBR Football reported on Tuesday that many clubs including Manchester United and Newcastle also appreciate Dibling. The 18-year-old is stalling over signing a new deal with the Saints and this has altered many clubs from all around Europe.
Tottenham will be hoping that their captain put in a positive word for them as they look to add yet another youngster to their ranks. Spurs are collecting a core of teenage talents with Ange Postecoglou the man tasked with developing their young squad.
Would Tyler Dibling be an upgrade on Brennan Johnson?
Tyler Dibling compared to Brennan Johnson is an interesting one as the data shows that they are two very different wingers. The Tottenham man has been an output machine this season with ten goals and two assists, however, in terms of his ability as a traditional winger, Dibling appears to be superior.
The teenager’s stats for progressive carries and dribbles are very impressive and show that he could be a great alternative to Johnson in different situations.
