RUSSELL MARTIN has urged Southampton to seal a bumper new deal for man of the moment Tyler Dibling.
The talented midfielder followed up an impressive first Premier League start against Manchester United with a superb first career goal.
Dibling, 18, may have a contract until 2026 but coach Martin wants his future sorted with United, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Stuttgart among a host of clubs taking an interest.
Exeter-born Dibling left Southampton's academy to join Chelsea in 2022 before promptly returning.
Martin said: "When you are 18 playing in the Premier League to the level he is playing, every club in the world probably looks at you. But he's ours.
"The club has turned down bids for him previously since I've been here.
