Spurs strike gold with “fearsome” Ange signing worth far more than Dibling
Tottenham Hotspur are facing a crucial summer transfer window as they look to bolster their squad after a challenging season marred by injuries and inconsistent form. Manager Ange Postecoglou will be aiming to bring in reinforcements to help the team bounce back next year.
One player linked with a move to North London is Southampton’s Tyler Dibling. The 19-year-old winger has impressed this season despite the Saints’ struggles, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists in 30 appearances across all competitions. His versatility to play across the front line has also caught the eye of clubs like Spurs and Newcastle United.
However, if Dibling does join Tottenham, he would face stiff competition from Brennan Johnson for a starting spot on the right wing. The Welsh international, signed from Nottingham Forest last summer, has emerged as a key attacking threat for Spurs this season.
After a slow start, Johnson has hit his stride, registering 14 goals and 4 assists in 39 appearances so far this campaign. His goal involvement rate of one every 138.5 minutes is a significant improvement on last season’s numbers.
Impressively, Johnson is currently Tottenham’s top scorer despite facing criticism earlier in the season. His performances have seen his market value rise to around £42 million according to Transfermarkt – over £20 million more than Dibling’s current valuation.
While Dibling represents an exciting prospect for the future, Johnson has already proven his worth as an astute signing by Postecoglou. The “fearsome” 23-year-old looks set to be a key part of Tottenham’s attack for years to come, justifying the manager’s faith in his abilities.
