Tim Sherwood backs ‘superstar’ Tyler Dibling to be Liverpool’s next signing

Tim Sherwood has urged that Liverpool might embark alongside a well-known switch path to signal one participant he’s described as ‘a famous person within the making’.

Within the final 10 years, the Reds have bought extra gamers from Southampton than any other club, with Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk all swapping St Mary’s for Anfield.

Of that sextet, solely the Dutchman stays on Merseyside, and he got here up aginst his former facet in a five-goal thriller on Sunday.

Sherwood claims Liverpool might raid Southampton as soon as extra

Talking after Liverpool’s win over the Saints, Sherwood was extremely impressed by Tyler Dibling, who was felled by Andy Robertson for the penalty which introduced concerning the residence workforce’s equaliser as Adam Armstrong scored on the rebound from Caoimhin Kelleher’s preliminary save.

The ex-Tottenham supervisor even claimed that the Reds would possibly raid Southampton as soon as extra for the gifted 18-year-old, telling The Weekend Wrap on Optus Sport: “Dibling is the person, this boy, he’s taking part in in opposition to. They’re often their feeder membership, aren’t they Southampton, for Liverpool? He’ll in all probability be their subsequent signing.

“I don’t know when that will likely be, he’s solely 18 years of age, however he’s able to step up. Already there’s a famous person within the making there.”

Dibling a shining gentle for Southampton

In what’s been a largely depressing return to the Premier League for Southampton, Dibling has been a uncommon shining gentle in Russell Martin’s facet.

When watching how comfy he seems at top-flight stage, it’s unbelievable to suppose that he’d solely performed two minutes of senior league soccer previous to this season, however he’s already began seven times in England’s uppermost division since August.

He’s already been linked with Tottenham and Manchester United in current weeks, and he was hailed for a ‘fearless’ efficiency in opposition to the latter in September on a day when his withdrawal noticed the Saints supervisor loudly hecked by the St Mary’s crowd (Sky Sports).

Since that mid-2010s flurry, Liverpool haven’t really raided Southampton with regularity, they usually have already got a massively thrilling teenage proper winger on their books in Ben Doak, which might see Dibling filed below the ‘surplus to necessities’ class by the Anfield hierarchy.

Nonetheless, the way by which he gave the runaround to an completed defender in Robertson on Sunday should’ve struck a chord with Arne Slot, and within the discernibly doable occasion that the Saints are relegated this season, the 18-year-old will certainly stay within the Premier League by transferring elsewhere.

Whether or not or not that’s to the present top-flight leaders is a query which might crop up within the coming months, ought to he preserve dwelling as much as Sherwood’s monumental billing.
