Transfer Rater: Jean Michael Seri to Arsenal, Renato Sanches to Liverpool

Things change in the blink of an eye in football. The Football Whispers Index takes the latest transfer rumours and gives them a score out of five; the higher the score, the more realistic and reliable the whisper.

Here are today's top five emerging whispers for the summer. And keep an eye on Transfer Talk for all the latest gossip.

Jean Michael Seri to Arsenal 3.4

Having been pegged back in their pursuit of Monaco's Thomas Lemar, Arsene Wenger may turn his attention to Nice's industrial midfielder Seri. According to The Telegraph, the Gunners are prepared to meet his release clause of £36 million. A dynamic midfielder with elegance and skill, the Arsenal target could soften the blow of losing long term absentee Santi Cazorla. The Ivorian scored seven goals and provided nine assists in Ligue 1 last season.

Aden Flint to Birmingham City 3.0

A fan favorite at Bristol City, 6-foot-6 centre-half has attracted the attention of Birmingham's Harry Redknapp. Having missed out on Chelsea legend John Terry to arch rivals Aston Villa, the Blues are said to be very interested in the defensive duo of Flint and Joe Bryan. They are preparing a £5m joint bid for the pair. Flint, 28, has been with the Robins since 2013, following a move from rivals Swindon.

Ahmed Musa to Fenerbahce 3.0

After a largely uninspiring debut campaign at Leicester City, Musa may use Turkish side Fenerbahce as his escape route. According to Turkish online news outlet aspor.com, the Nigerian forward will leave on a loan move with an option to buy for £15m. The 24-year-old scored just four goals in his 32 games with the Foxes, falling short of the impressive 18 he had scored in the previous season at Russian side CSKA Moscow.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah to Watford 2.6

Mensah has impressed during his brief time at Manchester United, but he is unlikely to be part of Jose Mourinho's immediate plans. The Sun have claimed he will be seeking a loan move to Watford for regular football. The versatile 19-year-old can deputise at right-back, centre-back or central midfield.

Renato Sanches to Liverpool 1.5

Just over a year ago, Sanches was celebrating Euro 2016 success, as one of the most sought after young talents in world football. But following a miserable year in Munich his career has dwindled. The midfielder could still be an excellent gamble and reports from The Sun claim that Jurgen Klopp is willing to make that flutter.
