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 kickstart their 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. Jonny Evans (West Brom) - 4.2
As Arsenal continue their hunt for a defender, they have been linked with West Brom's Jonny Evans.
Baggies boss Tony Pulis said on Friday: "If it does happen, you need to make sure you know where your replacements are.
"If Arsenal come in for Jonny, if we do any business, we'll do it between the clubs. I wouldn't talk here about doing a deal with Arsenal or anybody else."
Reports in Tuesday's national newspapers say West Brom have put a £25m price tag on Evans amid interest from the Gunners.
2. Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon) - 4.0
As the clock counts down until the end of the transfer window, Arsenal continue to be linked with Lacazette.
Last month, they saw a bid in the region of £30m rejected by the Ligue 1 club, although Sky sources understand the Gunners remain interested.
Arsenal's inability to find the net in Saturday's goalless draw at Leicester only fuelled the debate that reinforcements are needed up front. Will Lacazette be the man Arsene Wenger turns to?
3. Jose Gimenez (Atletico Madrid) - 3.1
Arsenal's desperate search for a defender continues. The latest name linked with a move to the Emirates is Atletico Madrid's Jose Gimenez.
Reports suggest the Gunners are interested in the Uruguay defender but his £56m valuation could be a stumbling block to any potential deal.
