Rumour: Daryl Dike

I was wondering when we would get thrown in the mix for a transfer for this guy. (By the way, his last name is pronounced like dee-kay.)

Daryl Dike is at the centre of a battle to secure his signature this summer with TEAMtalk being told that nearly half the Premier League have registered their interest in landing him following Barnsley’s failure to secure promotion to the top-flight. Dike impressed hugely for the Tykes after joining on loan from Orlando City in January. He scored nine goals in 19 appearances in the Championship as they secured a place in the play-offs. But the south Yorkshire club’s efforts to win promotion ultimately stalled. They were beaten by Swansea, who now face Brentford for a place in the Premier League. But we understand a host of teams have already asked Orlando about a prospective deal this summer. That chase is being fronted by Everton and Wolves, who are both in the market for new strikers. However, we’re informed there is also plenty of other interest with Southampton, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Norwich also making enquiries. West Brom and Fulham – both relegated from the Premier League – are also considering moves. But there is also major interest developing around Europe, particularly in Germany, over Dike.

It's probably safe to say that somebody will take a chance with a big bid that we can't afford to make.
