Dibling is surely good enough to make the move to play for a bigger club, with Southampton’s season going a long way as he looks set for a swift return to the Championship.

The transfer of Tyler Dibling could be a big deal for Newcastle’s long-term project
Newcastle are building something very promising at the moment, with Howe doing well to get the best out of some talented young players like Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.
Dibling could be another useful addition to this long-term project, with the England youth international sure to get a good amount of game time if he moves to St James’ Park.
Man Utd will also be tempting, but in many ways NUFC look more settled right now, so could be the best option for Dibling.
Newcastle fans will want to see top talent like this join them, and his contract situation seems to make that a very realistic possibility.
However, it is a huge blow for Southampton as they need to keep this current squad together if they are to have any hope of building on what they have achieved in recent times.
