Former Lioness captain Steph Houghton lauded Dibling’s impact, noting his fearless approach against seasoned players like Andy Robertson.
Houghton praised his ability to drive the team forward and his skillful play, describing him as a gem Southampton have unearthed. Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy echoed Houghton’s sentiments, calling Dibling a “superstar” with great composure and presence for his age.
Chelsea’s Missed Opportunity
Dibling’s journey has come full circle after a brief stint at Chelsea’s academy in 2022, where he struggled to settle. His return to Southampton marked the beginning of his rapid ascent, now earning him a spot in England’s U21 squad.
As Southampton fights to climb out of the relegation zone, Dibling remains a beacon of hope. With Brighton next on their schedule, all eyes will be on the teenage sensation to deliver yet another standout performance.
