West Ham are now the odds-on 1/4 favourites to sign Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville before the summer transfer window ends.
The 22-year-old was named Sky Bet Championship Player of the Season following a campaign which delivered 20 goals and a further nine assists.
Reports emerged on Wednesday afternoon that the Hammers are in advanced negotiations with Leeds after previously registering their initial interest.
The betting markets continue to react with the initial price crashing in from 25/1 to 2/1 to 8/11 and then 1/4 that West Ham will be his next club.
Leeds have lost star midfielder Archie Gray to Tottenham this summer, although there is still the expectation that Summerville departs as Daniel Farke rebuilds his squad following defeat in last season's play-off final.

West Ham have already spent big on Max Kilman this summer, with Julen Lopetegui bringing the defender in from his previous club Wolves in a £40million. Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme also arrived for a £25.5m fee.
They finished 9th in David Moyes' final season at the club, as their Europa League campaign seeing them eliminated at the quarter-final stage following success in the Europa Conference League in 2022/23.
Brighton and Liverpool have also previously been credited with interest in Summerville, while French giants PSG are believed to have him on their shortlist.
