That's according to bookmakers Sky Bet, who've appointed Arsenal as 2/5 odds-on favourites to clinch his signature this summer.

White, 23, enjoyed a stellar campaign under Graham Potter.
The versatile centre-back, who can also play in midfield, made 36 appearances and helped steer the Seagulls clear of relegation.
His performances also drew plaudits and earned him a place in Gareth Southgate's Euro 2020 squad.
White replaced the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold having only made his international debut earlier this month.
But his growing reputation has attracted serious interest from several heavyweights.

Arsenal are frontrunners with bookmakers Sky Bet having already made a formal approach.
SunSport understand the Gunners submitted a £40million offer for White, which was promptly rejected by the South Coast outfit.
Brighton have instead responded by slapping a £50m price-tag on their young talent following his England call-up.
Mikel Arteta is planning a huge squad overhaul this summer and Arsenal are 'undeterred' by their initial offer falling short.
Mauricio Pochettino's Paris Saint-Germain are Arsenal's closest competitors at 7/1.
The French side are also planning an overhaul having conceded the Ligue 1 title and failed to reach the Champions League final.
Manchester United are next in the betting market at 14/1 as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eyes a new central defender to partner captain Harry Maguire.
Liverpool and Tottenham are both locked together at 18s with West Ham further behind at 20/1.
Chelsea are available at 25/1 with White's former loan club Leeds the outsiders of the eight-runner field at 28/1.
