Sky Bet reckon it's more likely he will make the switch despite reportedly wanting to stay – making him 8/11 to head back to London.

They price Barca at even money to keep hold of the former Arsenal captain.
Nou Camp boss Xavi had poured cold water on Aubameyang departing the club this summer.
But reports now suggest a fee of £30million has been put on the 33-year-old, should Chelsea want to make their move.
It's also been reported that Aubameyang is looking to remain at the club having worked hard to secure the move there in the first place.
Despite the supposed financial issues at the club, Barcelona have splurged over £130million on Raphinha, Jules Kounde and striker Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski will take on the role of lead striker, though Xavi again hinted there would be a role for Aubameyang.
But Auba was only brought off the bench was eight minutes to go in the La Liga opener, drawing 0-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano.
He scored 11 goals in 17 La Liga outings having joined halfway through the season last year.
In total for Arsenal and at Barca, it was 20 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions.
With the Frenkie de Jong scenario still to play out, it could be that Barca look to recoup some of that spend somewhere else.

If Aubameyang was caught in that crossfire, a move to Chelsea is priced at 8/11 with Sky Bet.
They have lost Romelu Lukaku already in this window and Timo Werner recently left for RB Leipzig.
Raheem Sterling has been brought in but a move for an out-and-out number nine is highly likely.
Manchester United are in dire need for something to click and have been given a 20/1 price to sign Aubameyang.
The only other club quoted in the betting is Juventus at 25/1, making it appear likely Aubameyang will either be playing in London or in Barcelona next season.
