West Bromwich Albion are close to finalising a loan deal for Orlando City striker Daryl Dike after he arrived at their training ground on Saturday.

The 21-year old USA international previously worked with manager Valerien Ismael at Barnsley scoring nine goals in 14 starts on the way to the play-offs and he was at Albion on Saturday as he prepares to help his old boss's latest bid for promotion.

A number of clubs have been following Dike’s form during the past MLS season, where he scored another 11 goals, with the likes of Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Newcastle all linked.
