Coming off the bench on Saturday, Dibling helped his side secure their first win of the season as they beat Everton 1-0 to move off the bottom of the table.
Speaking on his young talent after their draw against Ipswich, manager Russell Martin praised Dibling saying “He has an amazing mentality. And real incredible talent.”
Playing in his first Premier League season, the youngster has drawn a lot of interest with Tottenham, Manchester United and former club Chelsea all rumoured to have been looking at him.
Dibling returned to Saints after just two months at the west London side, saying that the Southampton was like “A second home”
