​Dibling delighted with return to 'second home' after leaving Chelsea for Southampton

Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling has praised the club after returning this summer

The 16-year-old departed the Saints youth step to join Chelsea this summer.

However, he decided to return to the club on deadline day to seek a better chance at a first-team spot.

Having signed his scholarship deal, Dibling said: "This is my second home. I've been here so many years. All the staff, all the coaches, I have a good connection with them and I feel that'll help me move up and get into the first-team.

"I want to play well and do what I did last year, or even better. Long-term I want to be a starter, play Premier League games, help the club out and have a good connection with the fans. It's good to be back at this amazing place and I feel like it's the right place to be."
