SAINTS starlet Tyler Dibling continues to make an immediate impression around the country in his first season as a senior football player.

Swansea City's fans are the latest to see the 18 year old's talent on the pitch, as Dibling turned in twice from close range for his first professional brace.

No player 18 and under has played more Premier League minutes than Dibling, nor have they scored or set up more goals than the youngster.

But it was what Dibling did after Sunday's 3-0 win against Swansea in the FA Cup third round that has catapulted him onto screens across the nation.

Asked if his two goals meant it was his best performance for Saints, a stone-faced Dibling responded: "Not really, I only scored a few tap-ins."

Two supporters who saw the video shared on social media site X likened Dibling's demeanour to unflappable Chelsea and England star Cole Palmer.

User @kcstewarthall7 responded: "Our own Cole Palmer," while @crablungs said: "Very Cole Palmer," and added a laughing face emoji.

Saints academy graduate Dibling has already got football fans talking about his Jack Grealish-like low socks and tiny shin pads this season.

We asked him about those and he quipped: "They are the perfect size." When it comes to talking, Dibling prefers to send his messages on the pitch.

Saints hope to extend Dibling's contract and reward him for his performances this season with an increased wage but are yet to agree on terms.

He is currently signed up to 2026 after signing his second professional deal in 2023 but the club hold an option to extend that by one year.
