With discussions over a loan-to-buy deal taking place, it will be interesting to see if West Brom can pull off what would be an impressive coup.
Dike’s career to date
The powerful striker has already successfully made a name for himself despite his youth, emerging as a key player for Orlando.
Since joining in January 2020, Dike has played 41 times for the club, chipping in with 19 goals and four assists in 41 outings across all competitions.
He then came over to England earlier this year, spending the second half of the 2020/21 campaign on loan with Barnsley. Dike impressed in his first challenge outside of the U.S, scoring nine goals in 22 outings for the Tykes.
Dike has also earned international recognition, scoring three times in eight games for the U.S. national team.
