Crystal Palace want USA striker Daryl Dike — but are put off by his £18million price.
Boss Patrick Vieira is keen to bring in an extra forward and his scouts have suggested the Orlando City hitman after his loan at Barnsley last season. With the Eagles backed by American cash, it would be a major plus to land Dike, 21 — a powerful prospect who could be one of his country’s top players for years to come. The striker has netted three goals and one assist in eight MLS appearances this term. But MLS outfit Orlando have put a big valuation on Dike — and that does not fit with Palace’s plans as they want a striker to bring through rather than start immediately. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/footb...box=1631997490 |
Mateta must be so happy he joined us

I guess Patrick Vieira has had a good look at the players he’s got in training and matches and has come to the conclusion that we need another Striker .

It sounds like a contingency plan, and a good one. If Edouard does the business over the next couple of seasons he'll be off, and Dike looks like he has something about him already.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if we went back in for Nketiah though. |
Dam i hope we get him

Doubt he’d even get game time if there was an injury crisis. |

Be interesting to see if there is any negotiation to send him back in January. If Mainz know we won't buy him they may want to sell him elsewhere ASAP. And the player may be itching to move on. |

I watched Philadelphia Union 3-1 Orlando City last night. Dike was on the bench for some reason but got on for the final 20 mins or so.
He didn't look particularly great but granted 20 mins isn't really enough to judge. Paired with his spell at Barnsley last season I'd say he's a player worth keeping an eye on but he's nowhere near the finished article so the figures being touted are ridiculous. Reckon he'd be another Altidore if we signed him now and threw him straight in. |
