Arsenal transfer rumours: Julian Draxler and Arda Turan 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. Julian Draxler (Wolfsburg) - 4.5

After being linked with Manchester United, 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 to the top of the Arsenal rumours list.

2. Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon) - 4.1

After scoring 21 goals in Ligue 1 last season, Lacazette has attracted the attention of Wenger. His rating continues to fluctuate, with the Frenchman now second in 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?

3. Arda Turan (Barcelona) 2.6

Turan climbs to third in the list as he looks set for a move away from Barcelona this summer.

The former Atletico Madrid midfielder struggled in his debut campaign at the Nou Camp, and Arsenal are among the clubs now hoping to secure his signature.

Turan also struggled for Turkey as they crashed out at the group stage at Euro 2016, but that has not stopped him from heading into third on the Arsenal rumours list.
