Red-hot Super Eagles-eligible Dike called up by USA

Red-hot Barnsley striker Daryl Dike has been named in USA squad for upcoming March friendlies.

The Nigerian-American has been on great form in the English Championship since joining from Orlando City FC in the Major League Soccer (MLS) and has been duly rewarded with this call-up to the national team ahead of two friendlies later this month. 

Dike, whose older brother Bright Dike played for the Super Eagles, made his debut for the USA when he featured as a substitute in the game against Trinidad & Tobago.

The USA face Jamaica in Austria on Thursday, 25 March and then Northern Ireland in Belfast on Sunday, 28 March.
