Why does Tyler Dibling wear his socks so low? Southampton wonderkid reveals Chelsea ace inspired decision

TYLER DIBLING has revealed how a Chelsea ace is behind his choice to wear his socks ultra-low.

The Southampton star has impressed this season, having become one of the most promising youngsters in the Premier League.

He also wears part of his kit in a similar manner, with his socks very low down when on the pitch.

However, it was not the former Aston Villa star who inspired him to go for the bold look.

Instead, Dibling was told by a fellow teen star to wear his socks low down.

He told Southampton World: “One day Jimmy Jay Morgan just told me to do it in a game, and I’ve stuck with it ever since.”

The pair were team-mates in the youth ranks at Southampton before Morgan left for Chelsea in 2023.

Dibling’s impact at the Saints this season has not gone unnoticed despite the club’s struggles.

During his performance against Liverpool, Arsenal fans begged the club to sign him.

He has taken on board the advice that has been offered to him by veteran midfielder Adam Lallana.

He said: “Adam Lallana has been most helpful.

“He’s done it at the top level already and is always asking me questions and giving advice.”

Dibling has also revealed that his idols growing up were Eden Hazard and Lionel Messi.

So far this season he has made 12 appearances in the Premier League under Russell Martin.
