Tuesday 5 July 2016 08:39, UK
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. Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon) - 4.1
After scoring 21 goals in Ligue 1 last season, Alexandre Lacazette has attracted the attention of Wenger and a move for the striker has jumped from 3.8 to 4.1 in the past 24 hours.
West Ham are still interested in signing Lacazette, according to Sky sources, but they have not made an improved bid to match his reported price tag of 52m euros (£43.5m). Will Wenger make a move?
2. Ricardo Rodriguez (Wolfsburg) - 2.8
There are a few new faces in the Arsenal top three on Tuesday, with Wolfsburg's Ricardo Rodriguez rumoured to be a new defensive target. The left-back has just returned from Euro 2016 with Switzerland where he played every minute of their campaign.
However, media reports suggest that the Gunners will have competition from Barcelona for the left-back's signature, with his rumoured value said to be around £21m.
3. Neven Subotic (Borussia Dortmund) - 2.6
Borussia Dortmund have already seen a number of players depart for pastures new during the transfer window, and Football Whispers are linking Arsenal to centre-back Neven Subotic.
The Serbian has made over 250 appearances for the club since joining in 2008, but only managed 11 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund last term and already announced on his Facebook page last month that he was looking at other options away from the Bundesliga club.
