1. Sam Byram (West Ham) - 3.7
He may have only moved to West Ham from Leeds on a four-and-a-half year deal in January, but Byram is reportedly being lined up as a replacement for Hector Bellerin by Arsene Wenger.
Bellerin has been linked with a move to Barcelona, which could pave the way for 22-year-old Byram to move to the Emirates.
However, the young defender made only four appearancs at Upton Park last season, and the Hammers will see him as one for their own future at the Olympic Stadium.
2. Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon) - 3.1
After scoring 21 goals in Ligue 1 last season, Alexandre Lacazette appears to have caught the attentions of several clubs around Europe.
West Ham are still interested in signing Lacazette, according to Sky sources, but they have not made an improved bid to match his reported price tag of £43.5m (€52m).
Could Arsenal make a move?
3. Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli) - 2.1
He was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates before joining Napoli in 2013, but could this be the year the Argentine heads to the Premier League?
Higuain's agent revealed this month that the 28-year-old won't be renewing his Napoli contract.
He scored 36 times in Serie A last season, and has a buyout clause of £72m.
