Watford face competition for the signature of Dike, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Leeds United and Everton among the Premier League clubs also monitoring his situation.
The 21-year-old prodigy has returned to Major League Soccer side Orlando City after spending the second half of last season on loan at Barnsley, for whom he scored nine goals in nineteen appearances in the Championship.
Despite only 44 appearances as a professional, Dike won't come cheap, with Orlando City valuing him in the region of
