Tottenham Hotspur could look to land Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling in the coming summer transfer window, according to reports - with the club's chiefs believing that they are 'leading the race' for his signature ahead of a potential move in the off-season.

The exciting winger has scored four goals and provided two assists in 28 appearances in all competitions this term, but it's his all round attacking play that has got tongues wagging

TBR Football understands that Dibling, who has been compared to Gareth Bale, would welcome the chance to join Tottenham and is now holding out over signing a new deal on the South Coast. Meanwhile, the North London are now confident of landing the 18-year-old and are believed to be leading the race.

Before all of this – however – Gareth Bale was actually a much maligned figure at Tottenham, with one remark by Sir Alex Ferguson leaving Harry Redknapp puzzled. Manchester United actually tried to sign Bale while David Moyes was at the helm, but Ferguson wouldn’t have gone anywhere near the speedy winger once upon a time.
