RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich are ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Tyler Dibling
Tottenham Hotspur’s turbulent campaign has left both fans and pundits calling for serious change, and rightly so. While injuries have undoubtedly played a part in derailing Ange Postecoglou’s plans, the lack of tactical adaptability, cohesion, and consistent performances from key players has exposed deeper issues within the squad. Spurs have lacked identity, urgency, and leadership on the pitch, three pillars that once defined their most competitive teams.
As the season limps toward its conclusion, the club is bracing for a significant summer overhaul. A number of underperforming players are expected to be shown the exit door, while reinforcements will be sought in almost every area of the pitch. The priority will be to bring in players who fit a clearer footballing philosophy, whether under Postecoglou or a new manager, and who are capable of restoring pride to a fractured squad.
The Lilywhites look set to release several underperforming players in the summer. Timo Werner’s loan is not going to be extended, and he will head back to RB Leipzig. Another player that seems certain to leave is Richarlison. The Brazilian international has an option to return to his homeland or to Everton, where he enjoyed a lot of success.
Tottenham fall behind Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig in the race for Tyler Dibling
It’s now an open secret that Tottenham will prioritise signing a winger in the upcoming summer transfer window. The need for added flair, pace, and creativity in wide areas has become increasingly evident this season, with the current options failing to consistently deliver. With Heung-Min Son’s future still uncertain and Werner set to return to Leipzig following an underwhelming loan spell, Spurs are eager to bring in fresh talent that can rejuvenate their attack.
The objective is clear, inject more dynamism into the frontline and create genuine competition for places. Ange Postecoglou, or whoever takes charge next season, will want wide players who are not just explosive going forward, but also fit into a high-pressing, transition-heavy system. Spurs are already being linked with several potential targets across Europe and want to move early to avoid being caught in bidding wars. A well-chosen winger could help redefine Tottenham’s offensive identity, something they’ve lacked throughout this turbulent campaign.
Southampton star Tyler Dibling is heavily linked with a move to N17, and it seemed like the talented winger was going to sign for the Lilywhites until last week. However, Florian Plettenberg via X reports that Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have also entered the race for the teenage sensation. Dibling is open to a move to Germany, and RB Leipzig are currently leading the race to sign the Southampton winger.

The collapse of Tottenham’s season, particularly their likely absence from European competition, has proven to be a major stumbling block in the pursuit of top young talent like Tyler Dibling. The 19-year-old Southampton winger, once priced at a staggering £100 million, has seen his valuation drop considerably following the Saints’ relegation. Despite the more accessible fee, Spurs’ failure to remain competitive on multiple fronts has made the club a far less attractive destination for rising stars with ambition.
Dibling, who is said to be determined to join a club fighting for silverware and regular European nights, now appears to be slipping through Tottenham’s fingers. It’s a blow not only because of his talent and suitability to Postecoglou’s high-tempo system, but because it underscores a larger issue, Spurs’ dwindling pulling power. Missing out on the winger serves as a reminder that, without serious investment and a clear plan for progress, Tottenham risk being left behind in the battle for the next generation of elite talent.
