‘Newcastle turn attention to Tyler Dibling deal after Tottenham twist’

Newcastle United have set their sights on a deal to sign Southampton star Tyler Dibling to strengthen on the right-hand side.

That is according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that Eddie Howe believes the 19-year-old would be a strong addition to his team.

However, any deal will depend on whether the Saints are prepared to negotiate on their asking price for the winger following their relegation to the Championship.

This comes after Football Insider revealed on 30 May that Tottenham have had second thoughts about signing Dibling due to his lofty £55million price tag.

The Magpies are considering him among a number of targets to bolster on the right wing, and could be forced to consider alternatives as a result.

Brown told Football Insider on 1 June that Dibling is unlikely to leave Southampton while his price tag remains high, but clubs are keeping a close eye on the situation.
