Newcastle eyeing Southampton sensation – Report
According to talkSPORT, Newcastle United are keeping a close eye on highly-rated Southampton winger Tyler Dibling.
The 18-year-old has impressed in some early-season cameos for Southampton – he came on in their 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park last month – and earned his first Premier League start in their meeting with Man Utd on Saturday.
He gave Diogo Dalot a tough time and won a penalty that Cameron Archer failed to convert before Man Utd ran out 3-0 winners, and it’s believed the Saints are braced for bids following his recent breakthrough.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook reports that he’s been on Newcastle’s radar before his rise to Southampton’s first-team, so there’s every chance our interest could intensify now the teenager has impressed in his first few outings in the top flight.
Dibling is under contract at St Mary’s until 2026 and recently returned to the South Coast after a brief switch to Chelsea in 2022, where he failed to settle before securing a move back to Southampton.
Previously dubbed the ‘new Jack Grealish’, Dibling scored a first-half hat-trick at St James’ Park just two years ago as Southampton’s young guns battered our U23s back in 2022.
Whether he’s being looked at as another ‘project player’ – much like Danish talent Will Osula – or a potential solution to our right-wing woes, he could be one to watch if Newcastle up their interest in the exciting youngster.
Newcastle United finally introduce major ticket update which fans have been crying out for
Newcastle United have introduced a new update to their ticketing process.
Demand for tickets at St James’ Park have sky-rocketed in recent times following the takeover of the club in October 2021 and the continuing successes of Eddie Howe’s side on the pitch. The Magpies are one of just five Premier League teams that are still unbeaten in the league this season and won 2-1 away at Wolves in their last outing.
That win marked their first victory at Molineux in over seven years and their first in English football’s top-flight since 2011. Harvey Barnes’ stunning winner saw a sold-out away end at Molineux explode with the Magpies having struggled for consistent form on the road for a while now.
Whilst results away from St James’ Park have been inconsistent, what has always remained is their loyal away following with sold-out away ends up and down the country, week in and week out. Away tickets are sold based on a loyalty points system with a number held back each game to be distributed in a ballot.
Season ticket holders can enter a ballot for away tickets and find out if they are successful with an email from the club and the money being taken out of their bank account. Whilst the ballot system does allow those without the required loyalty points to begin building up their points total and attend away games that they wouldn’t normally be able to attend, one major flaw was that people who were unsuccessful in their ballot applications were never informed.
