Leeds United: Fans buzzing over link to Daryl Dike

Lots of Leeds United fans have voiced their thoughts on Twitter at the latest transfer claim to emerge regarding the Yorkshire side.

According to TEAMtalk, Marcelo Bielsa’s side are looking into the possibility of signing Orlando City ace Daryl Dike on loan until the end of the season.

Do Leeds need another signing?

Yes

No

The report suggests sources close to the Whites believe a loan deal could be achieved despite there being less than a week remaining in the summer window.

Leeds fans flocked to a tweet from James Marshment to share their opinions after being linked with the American striker in a potential loan deal.

What exactly did these Leeds fans have to say?

“This is getting ridiculous now. Again completely rubbish”

@AramLeeds

“Seen him play a few times and he is nowhere near good enough for us, Strong but can’t dribble past anyone, first touch is not the best, and misses sitters. Better options out there”

@DavidHa08158767

“I watch Orlando week in week out and he’s a beast. He knows where the net is and is not scared of taking a man on. Would be a good backup”

@PagdenLucas

“Be a really smart signing this. Got serious potential but can’t see the club would sanctioning it with Roberts/ Gelhardt/Greenwood still here”

@james_frudd

“Yes yes yes but loans from the MLS hahaha this owner man”

@benIufc

“If its true, then our entire transfer and scouting department needs completely dismantling and throwing into the closest body of water”

@Meefloaf

The 21-year-old spent the second half of last season out on loan with Championship side Barnsley, where he was able to net nine goals in the 19 appearances he made in the league (via Transfermarkt).

Despite having Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo at the club, it seems like these Leeds fans would welcome the potential addition of the American talisman this summer.
