Arsenal transfer rumours: Marcel Tisserand linked with move to Gunners

Which are the most credible Arsenal transfer rumours right now?

Sky Sports has teamed up with Football Whispers to bring you the hottest transfer talk of the moment, as Arsene Wenger looks to improve his squad ahead of the upcoming 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.

The top three are:

1. Marcel Tisserand (Monaco) - 4.8

Arsenal continue to be linked with a number of defenders with Monaco's Marcel Tisserand the latest to add to their list.

The DR Congo international impressed on loan at Toulouse last season, and his versatility could be useful for Wenger. Tisserand, who can play centre-back or right-back, is reportedly being considered to ease Arsenal's defensive injury problems.

2. Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon) - 4.4

The Lyon striker is often mentioned as a Premier League transfer target, and Arsenal feature prominently in speculation.

Last month they saw a bid in the region of £30m rejected by the Ligue 1 club, although Sky sources understand the Gunners remain interested.

Lyon are reportedly keen to keep their top scorer, but Lacazette hinted at a departure earlier this week, saying: "If there are offers that can't be refused, I'd like to not refuse them."

3. Simon Kjaer (Fenerbahce) - 4.1

Sky sources understand Kjaer, along with Bayer Leverkusen defender Omer Toprak, is a target for Arsenal.

The Denmark international, who signed for Fenerbahce from Lille in 2015, is an alternative option for Wenger should Arsenal fail to agree a deal for Valencia centre-back Shkodran Mustafi.
