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) - 4.6

After scoring 21 goals in Ligue 1 last season, Lacazette has attracted the attention of Wenger. His rating continues to fluctuate, but the Frenchman jumps back to the top of the Football Whispers 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 euros (£43.5m).

So, will the Gunners dig deep to bring this proven goalscorer to the Emirates?

2. Rob Holding (Bolton) - 4.5

Arsenal have had a £2million bid accepted for Bolton Wanderers defender Rob Holding, according to the Daily Mail.

Holding is an England U21 international, and has played only 30 times for Bolton, but the 20-year-old has a bright future and could be Arsene Wenger's third signing of the summer.

3. Julian Draxler (Wolfsburg) - 4.2

Speculation continues to mount about the Germany international's future at Wolfsburg, with Arsenal having been widely linked with a club-record move for the midfielder.

However, with the Bundesliga club now claiming that the player is "100 per cent" certain to stay with them this summer, Wenger could face a tough task luring him to the Emirates next season.
