London trio Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham alongside Sheffield Wednesday are the joint favourites to sign RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke this summer, according to the latest bookmakers’ odds.

Bet Victor have priced the English quartet at odds of 6/1 each to sign the 20-year-old before September 3.

Premier League quintet Everton, Southampton, Leicester, Brighton and Huddersfield also trail closely behind the favourites with odds of 8/1 respectively.

Burke only departed England and Nottingham Forest last summer after agreeing a £13million move to RB Leipzig last summer.

However, the senior Scotland international could be set for a quick return if the odds are to be believed.

The attacker can play across the front three with his more natural position coming on the right and his versatility could have attracted watching clubs.

Each of Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham have had disappointing transfer windows in the past year, especially in the attacking positions with the likes of Moussa Sissoko, Lucas Perez and Robert Snodgrass failing to make an impact after their moves.

They could now be looking at Burke, who still has may years to grow as a potential new addition and each of the three London clubs have shown in the past that they hand first team opportunities to their younger members.

In the last campaign Burke enjoyed 32 senior appearances for both Nottingham Forest and Leipzig, returning five goals and four assists in all competitions.
