This summer has to be huge for Tottenham Hotspur.
The Ange Postecoglou team has struggled seriously this season through a combination of poor shape and injury torrents.
However, as was the case at the beginning of last season, there are indications that Australians can make things work with more support, and based on reports over the past few weeks, it appears Daniel Levy and CO are looking to sign them in the coming months.
One of the most heavily promoted players for the move to the N17 was Southampton’s Gem Tyler Diving, but if he joins Lily White, he is worth considerably less than one of his major rivals in game time.
Why Spurs wants to sign a dibrib
Spurs’ interest in diving is currently open to the public, but North Londoners are not keen to secure the service of young people, and it is said that Premier League outfit Newcastle United are also interested.
So why are many league biggest clubs turning club wingers that seem to be doomed to be relegated to the championship?
Well, simply put, he was one of the very few bright spots for Southampton this year, and although he wasn’t necessarily lit by the world, he did enough to suggest that his ceiling was very high.
For example, despite playing on the really awful saint side at just 19 years old, Exeter-born “Gamebreaker” was dubbed by analyst Ben Matinson, scoring four goals and providing two assists in 30 appearances.
Additionally, his main position and best position are off the right, but the young British have shown a versatile attacker, attacking midfield five times this season as a centre forward, with one appearing in the right midfield.

Right wing | 12 | 1 | 0 |

Finally, last year or so, Tottenham clearly chose to target promising talent in the transfer market with the moves of Lucas Bergval, Archie Gray and Wilson O’Dobert.
So in their case, signing the dibli would fit well into the team’s long-term vision, and it appears likely that the 25 million euro valuation from Transharmarkt, which is around £221 million, will begin to increase soon.
That said, if Levy and Co can bring the youngsters to North London in the summer, he will have to work hard to match the ratings of the biggest competitors of game time.
Spurs Stars are worth millions more than Diling
Now, when it comes to Spurs’ winger options, Postecoglou has a few players to choose from on the left, but on the right, the only really natural option he currently has is Brennan Johnson.

Wales International joined the North Londoners from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2023, but since then things have not necessarily been a plane voyage, he has established himself as a useful attack outlet.
For example, despite enduring the slow start of his first campaign in the capital, the 23-year-old scored five goals and provided 10 assists in 34 appearances, totaling 2,248 minutes. This is averaged goal involvement every 2.26 games or every 149.86 minutes.
This season has gotten even better. In a total of 2493 minutes, the “terrifying” ace dubbed by content creator HLTCO scored 14 goals and provided four assists.

Impressively, despite getting a lot of sticks early in the season, he disabled his Instagram account, but Welsman is currently the club’s top scorer.
So, taking all that into consideration, it’s not so surprising that TransherMarkt treasures him for 50 million euros.
Ultimately, if the Spurs signed the Star of the Young Saints, they would have yet another promising outlook for their team. But it would be interesting to see if Johnson’s place can be taken from him in the long run.
