Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to make a cut-price move for Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling.
The 19-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in the Premier League for the struggling Saints, firstly under the tutelage of Russell Martin.
Dibling has shone during a difficult period for Southampton, scoring two goals across 29 top-flight appearances for the division's whipping boys.
As a result, the winger has attracted interest from bigger clubs, including Manchester United, who are said to be targeting the player should they qualify for the Champions League.
Dibling is likely to feature for the managerless Saints on Saturday afternoon when the bottom side welcome Europe-chasing Fulham to St Mary's.

Tottenham want Dibling for £45m?
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are eyeing up a cut-price deal for Southampton wantaway Dibling ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
The report states that Spurs are looking to secure the services of the 19-year-old for a price of around £45m including performance-related add-ons.
Southampton are supposedly demanding at least £100m for Dibling, who has impressed a number of Premier League giants with his displays this term.
It is understood that Ange Postecoglou's men are the 'most intent' on signing the winger at this stage, although other vultures are circling St Mary's.
Newcastle United are allegedly also keen on signing Dibling, however the Magpies' interest in the player has waned in recent times.

How much will Dibling cost?
Despite Southampton's recent claims, it is extremely hard to imagine a Championship player being sold for a nine-figure sum during the summer transfer window.
After suffering relegation with Leicester City, James Maddison was poached by Tottenham for £40m, a fee that seems more suitable for Dibling.
A bidding war could inflate the price of the former Chelsea youngster, with Man United and Manchester City also said to be keen on the player.
