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. Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan) - 3.5
Arsene Wenger's reported willingness to part with £32m and Jamie Vardy's new contract at Leicester has pushed this one up the charts. Icardi's whispers to Arsenal are gathering momentum again.
Icardi scored 16 goals in all competitions last season for Inter, coming at a rate of more than a goal every two games.
The 23-year-old striker was handed the captain's armband by Roberto Mancini but is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League.
2. Romelu Lukaku (Everton) - 2.5
Lukaku's future at Everton is becoming one of the most talked about possible transfers of the summer.
The Belgian has been linked with a return to former club Chelsea but Football Whispers thinks a move to Arsenal is more likely.
The striker has been coy about his future and when asked about his whereabouts next season, Lukaku told Sky Sports News HQ: "It's my agent who is dealing with that aspect. I'm just focused on Belgium, and the most important thing is helping my team."
3. Vincent Janssen (AZ) - 2.1
Tottenham have been widely linked with Janssen, but the whisper rating is gathering pace for Arsenal to capture his signature.
Janssen struck 27 league goals last season for AZ Alkmaar on his way to finishing as the Eredivsie top scorer.
