West Ham are the favoured destination for Brighton striker Evan Ferguson despite late interest from Chelsea.
Everton and Tottenham have also been consistent in their pursuit for the Republic of Ireland international but the chance to link up with his former Brighton boss Graham Potter appeals to Ferguson.
Bayer Leverkusen did make a concerted effort to sign him last week as a replacement for Victor Boniface but once his move to Al Nassr fell through, the Bundesliga side stepped back.
West Ham are now looking to complete terms on a straight loan for the 20-year old.
