Lyndon Dykes’ old boss at Livingston reckons the Scotland star is bound for a money-spinning English Premier League move.
And Tony Macaroni gaffer David Martindale claims that “one of the world’s top managers” is among the hitman’s growing band of hotseat admirers.
Dykes, 26, has cemented himself as a Tartan Army hero with four goals – three of them winners – in the nation’s last four games.
And Martindale said: “You’d be stupid to think there are not bigger clubs in the EPL looking at him.
“I’m not wanting to quote his name but let’s just say one of the top six managers in the world really, really likes him.
“A lot of big managers are looking at Lyndon.
“He probably doesn’t suit the big teams’ style of play but you’re not telling me Lyndon couldn’t go and play for a Burnley or the likes in England. He’s got all the attributes.
“He’s a physical athlete and he can battle with defenders and out-run and out-jump defenders. What else do you want?”
Dykes, suspended for next month’s key clash with Moldova, has come in for criticism of his playing style but Martindale takes pride in the role he played in the striker’s development.
The gaffer added: “We put a lot of coaching into Lyndon. Of his six goals for Scotland, I’m pretty sure four of them have been across the front post and it was a massive part of what we worked on with him.
“He scored good goals here getting across his man at the front post. We worked on getting the ball wide and delivering it for him.”
