Premier League clubs Brighton and Burnley are both reportedly interested in signing QPR striker Lyndon Dykes this January.
Dykes, 26, was in fine form earlier this season, scoring six times in his opening 13 games. The striker has also established himself as Mark Warburton’s main man up top ahead of Andre Gray and Charlie Austin. However, The R’s may now face competition if they wish to keep the Scotland international at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium..
According to the Daily Mail, both Brighton and Burnley have been put on alert by Dykes’ early goalscoring run.
Both sides are believed to be in the market for a reliable striker in January, and Dykes could be a suitable candidate.

That being said, Dykes has admitted it is his dream to play inside the top flight.
