Top transfer rumours of the week ranked by chance of coming true.
A look at the top ten transfer rumours of the week ranked by their chance of coming true, with mixed news for Chelsea and success for Manchester United and Liverpool…
10) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal)
A deal that keeps coming back but that is surely NOT going to happen – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has only just signed a new contract with Borussia Dortmund after being linked with Arsenal earlier this summer.
9) Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli to Chelsea)
A player often in the headlines, Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain would be a quality signing for Chelsea but is surely too expensive at £63.9m.

8) Saido Berahino (West Brom to Tottenham)
Tottenham are said to be trying again for Saido Berahino, but West Brom don’t want to sell and Spurs have just brought in Clinton N’Jie. Probably not going to happen.
7) Antonio Rudiger (Stuttgart to Chelsea)
Do Chelsea really need him? Antonio Rudiger has been linked with the Blues before and just doesn’t seem like he should be a priority given the club’s current options at the back.
6) John Stones (Everton to Manchester United)
A superb young player who could well move, John Stones seems more likely to join Manchester United than Chelsea, with the Red Devils in dire need of a centre-back.
5) Jonny Evans (Manchester United to Everton)
A deal that very much depends on the above one, Jonny Evans could go to Everton as part of the Stones deal, and would be a smart signing to replace the departing youngster.
4) William Carvalho (Sporting Lisbon to Real Madrid)
One of Europe’s top young midfielders, it makes sense that Real Madrid are leading the chase for Sporting Lisbon’s William Carvalho, who’d offer more physicality in the middle of the park than the likes of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
3) Asier Illarramendi (Real Madrid to Liverpool)
Linked with Liverpool for so much of the summer, reports suggest this deal could finally be close to completion, and should hinge very much on whether or not Real land Carvalho.
2) David de Gea (Manchester United to Real Madrid)
Left out of Manchester United’s last two games, David de Gea is SURELY joining Real Madrid in the next few days after rumours that everything is close to being agreed.
1) Baba Rahman (Augsburg to Chelsea)
Some reports say a medical has already been done, and Baba Rahman should be announced as a Chelsea player in the next few days in what looks an exciting buy for the champions.
