Southampton's Dibling reminds Ramsdale of former Arsenal midfielder

Ramsdale drew comparisons between the way Dibling, 18, and Wilshere carry the ball and look to entice defenders close to them.

Dibling, who hit his first senior goal in a 1-1 draw against Ipswich, ranks as one of the best creative players in the division.

The Saints academy graduate is 11th for shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (5.34) and joint first - alongside Mo Salah and Luis Diaz - for shot-creating actions from take-ons (six).

Speaking to Stadium Astro, Ramsdale admitted Dibling's ability to play without pressure has impressed him.

Jack Wilshere now works as Arsenal under-18s manager. (Image: PA) He said: "Tyler is really good. He's got a mature head on very young shoulders. He's trying to take the Premier League by the scruff of the neck and show everyone what he's about.

"He plays with no pressure and lots of freedom. I've been really impressed by him. Hopefully, he can continue to get better and learn.

"It's very hard for an 18 year old to stay at the level of the Premier League but the more he plays, the more robust he will be.

"He and Ethan Nwaneri are similar. They play for England together and they are really good players for their age. I think Tyler dribbles a little bit like Jack Wilshere, you know. 

"The way he moves and the way he moves the ball entices the defenders to come towards him and can skip around them. He has got a bright future if he carries on working how he is doing now.”
