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 improve his squad ahead of the 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's the current top three:
Lucas Moura (PSG) - 4.3
Talk of Lucas Moura joining Liverpool has kept him prominent in the Football Whispers algorithm for several months now and his rating has not dipped below 3.0 in June.
The 23-year-old Brazil international winger chipped in with 13 goals for PSG in all competitions last year, despite starting just 32 times.
And now Football Whispers rate this Liverpool transfer story as being the most likely to happen this summer.
Andros Townsend (Newcastle United) - 3.8
Townsend is reportedly a player in high demand at present, with Liverpool one of a number of clubs hoping to lure the Newcastle winger away from St James' Park this summer.
As such, the chances of the 24-year-old joining the Reds next season have now risen to 3.8, according to Football Whispers.
Townsend is contracted to the Magpies until the end of June 2021.
Mateo Kovacic (Real Madrid) - 3.4
The Real Madrid midfielder continues to be linked with a move to Anfield.
Our colleagues at Sky in Italy have reported that the Merseysiders are in a battle to sign Kovacic for €30m (£23m), although the odds of that switch taking place have receded slightly in recent days.
The 22-year-old, who is currently on international duty with Croatia at Euro 2016, only made eight La Liga starts in his debut campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu last season.
