The RB Leipzig man could be heading home, according to the bookies, with Everton, Southampton and Leicester City listed as outsiders to sign him.

Popular bookmakers BETVICTOR have installed the Toffees, Saints and Foxes as outsiders in the race to sign RB Leipzig winger Oliver Burke.

The 20-year-old joined the Bundesliga side last summer from Nottingham Forest in what was a shock move, believed to be in the region of around £13 million.

The Scotland international struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular in Germany, however, making just five league starts for Leipzig.

And BETVICTOR believe that he could be plying his trade away from the Red Bull Arena this season. They list London rivals Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham as joint 6/1 favourites to sign him.

Perhaps more interestingly though, given the lack of links, BETVICTOR list Everton, Southampton and Leicester City as 8/1 outsiders to obtain Burke’s signature.

Although the lively winger has struggled during his time in Germany, he would still represent a superb signing for any of the clubs mentioned above, what with he outstanding potential that he possesses.

Burke will surely not come cheap, however, with four years still remaining on his current deal with Leipzig.

The German outfit will surely want to keep hold of him, however, and will expect plenty more from him this season.
