Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is considering giving academy wonderkid Tyler Dibling, 16, a spot in the Saints' Premier League squad before the end of the season

Southampton's viral sensation Tyler Dibling is under consideration for a place in Ralph Hasenhuttl's matchday squad before the end of the season.

Attacking midfielder Dibling, 16, made headlines after scoring a first-half hat-trick for Southampton's B team against Newcastle last month, with all three left-footed goals near-identical.

England under-16 international Dibling has been pictured in training with Southampton's first team this week but Sportsmail understands Hasenhuttl is also seriously weighing up promoting the talented teenager into one of his squads for their remaining fixtures, with a place on the bench the most likely starting point.
