Southampton news: Tyler Dibling on £100m price tag jokes

Southampton midfielder Tyler Dibling says his £100m price tag has become a bit of joke and his team-mates have been teasing him about it.

The club has reportedly put that hefty price tag on the 19-year-old because he is young and homegrown English talent.

Dibling has been linked with Newcastle and Manchester United while a host of Bundesliga clubs have also shown an interest.

“There’s a few nicknames going around,” said Dibling. “It is all jokes. Nobody takes it seriously. It’s just a number. It’s all fun.

“‘Rambo’ [Aaron Ramsdale] loves it to be fair. I’ll miss a shot in training and he’ll just go ’90 million’ or ’80 million’ as it goes down.

“It’s all good fun but I’m just trying to practise every day and to get better. I just go in to train the best I can every day and work hard.

“At the end of the day, I love Southampton. I have been here since I was eight. It is such a great team and I am working to do big things with them.”
