    He did play an international game, however it was a friendly. Until he has played a competitive international he can still represent other countries that he is eligible for, in this case Nigeria (like his brother and sister.)

    There are quite a few players in front of the pecking order of Dike for the American team, he only got his initial cap due to most of them not being available.
    That’s not to say he won’t feature moving forward, just saying he’s not an automatic pick yet.

    the way he speaks in interviews makes me think that he sees himself as American and a part of the national side.

    Wasn't it as much to do with him getting his VISA to come over here? I got that impression.

    No, he was nominated but Danjuma won it I think.

    He won our fans player of the month award in March and April - but I didn’t think he looked as effective from the middle of April onwards to be honest.

    He got a goal at Huddersfield but that was about it. You’d always expect a young player to be patchy form wise.

    I’d love to see him back but I can’t see it sadly.

    Yes he did.
    He also scored 2 against Luton.
    He also scored against Middlesbrough.
