Could the Foxes hijack the prospective move?
Leicester City have had their odds decisively cut on signing Burnley centre back James Tarkowski, rivalling West Ham for favouritism.
The Foxes have been cut from 4/1 into 2/1 second-favourites, with the only team ahead of them in the pecking order being the Hammers.
West Ham remain 13/8 favourites in the race for the England international, and have had their odds trimmed slightly from 5/4 into 13/8.
The pair make up the vast majority when it comes to percentage of bets, with Leicester the most backed (41%) and West Ham (26%) second most popular over the last week.

Looking at the market reflects that sentiment, with Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Chelsea all trailing the market as 25/1 shots.
The Three Lions star made WhoScored.com’s illustrious European Team of the Year, completing the most clearances and winning the most aerial duels in the Premier League last season.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “After a number of years performing out of his skin for Burnley, it comes as little surprise that James Tarkowski is catching the eye of other Premier League clubs.
"The centre-back will be keen for more England caps, and a move to a more established top-tier club may well provide him with this opportunity."
James Tarkowski next club:
West Ham – 13/8
Leicester – 2/1
Tottenham – 25/1
Manchester United – 25/1
Chelsea – 25/1
