West Brom: Daryl Dike stuns USA international teammate Alejandro Zendejas after training performance
West Brom striker Daryl Dike continues to stun teammates with his performances in training while away on international duty with the United States.
Dike earned a recall to the international setup with four goals in his last five appearances for the Baggies, helping them to get back up into playoff contention under Carlos Corberan.
And after training with his American teammates on Monday, teammate Alejandro Zendejas was quick to praise the striker during his press conference (20 March).
“This guy’s a tank bro,” he said, as quoted by journalist Meg Swanick (20 March).

When Dike joined the club, many saw him as the answer to our goalscoring issues but a torrid time with injuries since his arrival has meant he was never really able to take off.
But this season under Carlos Corberan, the club seem to have got his fitness problems under control and they are now seeing the best of him in the Championship.
His powerful running, ability to hold the ball up and eye for goal are huge assets to have for a team chasing promotion, and he is a very team-oriented player.
He links well with the midfield, presses well from the front and is constantly a threat in the penalty area to keep defenders occupied.
Dike is proving to be an excellent signing for the club and the patience shown by fans and management should be commended, because they are now being rewarded for it with his performances on the pitch.
In other West Brom news, the club are open to takeover offers as they away Lai paying back his £5m loan.
