Newcastle United and Chelsea are battling for Southampton superkid Tyler Dibling.

Dibling, 16, has been scouted by clubs across Europe, says The Sun.

He leapt on to the Toon's radar in April when bagging a stunning hat-trick against them in Premier League 2, a performance that led Ralph Hasenhuttl to refer to him as the academy's 'shining player'.

There's the belief that if he remains at St Mary's, he may be integrated into the first team next season.

However, the England youth international's minders are now fielding interest from Chelsea and Newcastle this summer.
