Arsenal transfer rumours: Alexandre Lacazette and Julian Draxler linked

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. His rating continues to fluctuate, with the Frenchman now topping the charts.

Sky sources understand West Ham are still interested in bringing Lacazette to the Olympic Stadium, but they have not made an improved bid to match his reported price tag of €52m (£43.5m). Will Wenger dig deep to bring this proven goalscorer to the Emirates?

2. Julian Draxler (Wolfsburg) - 3.9

After being linked with Manchester United, Julian Draxler now emerges as a potential Arsenal target as speculation continues to mount about the Germany international's future at Wolfsburg.

As such, the player - who is contracted to the Bundesliga club until the summer of 2020 - makes his way into the top three Arsenal rumours.

3. Romelu Lukaku (Everton) - 3.2

Romelu Lukaku slips to third in the Football Whispers chart as uncertainty hangs over his future on Merseyside.

The Belgian looks set to leave Everton this summer, but his destination is still up in the air. Arsenal, however, are still looking for a new striker after being rebuffed in their attempts to sign Jamie Vardy.

Lukaku netted twice at Euro 2016, but struggled as Wales knocked them out of the competition at the quarter-final stage. Will that count against the 23-year-old in a potential move to the Emirates?
