The 19-year-old has been one of the few positives of this rotten Southampton campaign. Dibling has emerged as one of the breakout stars of this Premier League season even though his club are set to drop back down to the Championship.

The exciting, tricky winger is being courted by a host of clubs who are waiting to pounce on Southampton's relegation. The Saints want to extend Dibling's contract, but it is clear that they likely won't be able to keep hold of him this summer.

Dibling previously had a very brief spell at Chelsea in which he failed to settle and, homesick, quickly returned to the South Coast. However, he will have to get used to being away from home sooner or later.

Romano confirms Man Utd, Liverpool interest

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now named two of the high-profile clubs keeping tabs on Dibling. According to the Italian, Man Utd and Liverpool have been scouting the teenager in recent months.

"It's a complicated season for Southampton, but he's still considered one of the best talents around," Romano told GIVEMESPORT. "And so, for example, I heard several times about Man United, and also Liverpool sending their scouts to follow the player."

Man Utd's interest in Dibling is nothing new, although it is surprising that they are seemingly still interested in the Southampton man. Ruben Amorim does not utilise traditional wingers, so Dibling may have to adjust his game should he end up at Old Trafford.

As for Liverpool, they potentially view Dibling as a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian is out of contract this summer and, although it has been suggested that he will extend his deal, he is not getting any younger.
