Which are the most credible Liverpool transfer rumours right now?

Sky Sports has teamed up with Football Whispers to bring you the latest transfer talk as Jurgen Klopp looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

Football Whispers have developed a unique algorithm to take all of the transfer rumours from across the globe and calculate the likelihood of them happening.

They track transfer stories and give them a score out of 5.0, with the hottest Whispers closest to 5.0.

Here are the current top three:

1. Jonas Hector (Cologne) - 3.3

Liverpool continue to be linked with the Germany international defender, with reports claiming a £20m bid could be on the way.

It has been suggested that the Reds are keen to sign the left-back as Jurgen Klopp remains unconvinced by Alberto Moreno, despite the Spaniard featuring heavily in pre-season.

2. Mahmoud Dahoud (Borussia Monchengladbach) - 3.2

Mahmoud Dahoud can reportedly leave Borussia Monchengladbach for as little as £8.5million next summer although Klopp is still tracking the German wonderkid.

The Reds have allegedly been knocked back in a series of approaches for the midfielder, who was born in Syria.

But he could now be set to wait until next year to complete the deal for a cut-price fee as a clause will be activated in Dahoud's contract.

It is understood that the German club rejected an offer of £34.2m from Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month.

3. Anwar El Ghazi (Ajax) - 2.6

Moving into the top three of Liverpool's Football Whispers list is Ajax winger El Ghazi.

The 21-year-old has starred in the Eredivisie since making his breakthrough into the first team in 2014/15, and could provide some valuable width at Anfield.
