Betting syndicate BetVictor yesterday suspended betting on Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore joining West Ham, believing the move was already a done deal.
Neither club has yet to release a statement on the potential transfer, nor had there been much talk of the former Barcelona man making the switch to the London Stadium, but BetVictor’s actions suggest a deal for the player may be close, if not already completed.
Hi Jamie. Looks like he's on his way to WHU so we won't be offering, thanks.

The pacy 21-year-old winger joined Aston Villa back in 2015 but struggled to make an impact, scoring only one goal as the club were relegated from the Premier League. Subsequently Traore signed for newly promoted Middlesbrough, and while he has had plenty more time on the pitch for the team from The Riverside, he has still failed to deliver.
Traore made 28 appearances for Boro’ last campaign, failing to score and provided only a single assist, again finding himself in a side that were relegated from England’s top flight.
