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 3.2)
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 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 and that loyalty is one reason why Football Whispers gives this move a 3.2 rating.
2. Romelu Lukaku (Everton) - 3.1
The Everton striker if off the mark at the Euros and could be out of Goodison Park once he returns to England.
According to Football Whispers, the Belgium international may be heading to north London this summer as manager Wenger looks to increase his striking options.
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. Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli 2.5)
Wenger is a longtime admirer of Higuain, who has been in goal-scoring form for Argentina at the Copa America this summer.
The striker is in at No 3 in the Football Whispers chart as Arsenal look to take the burden off Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez.
