MANCHESTER City are the latest club linked with Tyler Dibling ahead of an expected bidding war for the Saints starlet this summer.

Dibling, 19, is reportedly drawing strong interest from several English clubs, with the Premier League champions Man City and Tottenham the most "concrete" options.

German club RB Leipzig have long been linked with the England youth international while Bayern Munich's stance has recently been revealed.

Sky Germany are reporting that Bayern Munich directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund hold a strong opinion of Dibling, but are yet to make contact with his camp.

Dibling is under contract at Saints until 2026 - with an option to extend by a year - and has been offered new terms by the club but is yet to sign an extension.

Former boss Russell Martin took aim at Dibling's agents over stalled contract talks, while Juric has been coy about Southampton's chances of keeping him beyond this season.

Dibling has been a regular for Saints in his first full senior campaign and has found the net four times across all competitions - twice scoring in the Premier League.

He has struggled for form more recently and is working closely with Juric to improve "small details" of his overall game.

Saints have placed a £55million price tag on Dibling, who is a graduate of their academy, having joined their youth ranks as a young child.

Asked by the Daily Echo last month about his future and contract status, Dibling said: "I'm relaxed about it.

"I don't really deal with it, my Dad deals with all that. I don't think you can let it get to you - I just want to play.

"It's a bit like training, I want to come into training every day and just show that I want to be here, I want to play my best, and that I want to be the best."
