Southampton news: Phil McNulty on Tyler Dibling transfer rumours

BBC Sport’s chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

The below question comes from Thursday’s gossip column, which suggested Premier League clubs were being quoted upwards of £100m to sign Southampton’s Tyler Dibling.

Tim asked: Phil, Tyler Dibling, £100m? Rogers was £8m from Middlesbrough 12 months ago having achieved more. Dibling is OK at dribbling but, expecting any team to pay multiples of Rogers’ fee is nuts, right?

Phil answered: I really like the look of Tyler Dibling but I think the notion of any club paying £100m for the 19-year-old (no matter how talented he is) with only one season Premier League is fanciful.

He is Southampton’s player, though, and it is absolutely right that they reserve the right to hold out for the highest possible price if and when he does leave Saints.
