'Tyler adds to our attacking options and we will support him in his future development.

' Southampton initially wanted £100million for Dibling but subsequently lowered their asking price. Last season Dibling, who can also play as an attacking midfielder, made 33 appearances for Southampton in the Premier League and scored twice, while he also provided an assist.
