Transfer Rater: Hector Bellerin to Barcelona, James to Chelsea

The latest transfer rumours from around the world.

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 the latest gossip.

Hector Bellerin to Barcelona

Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo are reporting that Barcelona will turn their attention towards Arsenal's Hector Bellerin in the summer, as their search for quality full-backs continues. The 21-year-old signed a new six-year deal back in November, but that may have been with the understanding that Arsene Wenger would remain as manager beyond the end of the season -- something that is currently far from certain. The Catalans are keen to take advantage if Bellerin becomes unsettled at the Emirates, but they are also reportedly tracking Tottenham's Kyle Walker as an option. 

James Rodriguez to Chelsea

Real Madrid forward James Rodriguez, the subject of a reported £78 million bid from Chelsea in the January transfer window, continues to be a target for Antonio Conte, according to Confidencial Colombia. The European champions accepted the Blues' offer, but the Colombian reportedly turned down the opportunity to move to Stamford Bridge, choosing to fight for his place at the Bernabeu. Rodriguez has been frustrated by a lack of playing time this season, starting just five games in La Liga, and it is likely the player will consider his options once again if his situation doesn't improve in the final months of the campaign.

Karol Linetty to Everton

Sampdoria's 22-year-old midfielder Karol Linetty has emerged as a summer transfer target for Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports in Italy. Linetty has made 26 appearances for the Serie A side this season, putting in some strong displays and impressing the scouts of the two Premier League clubs. However, the Poland international signed a five-year deal when he joined I Blucerchiati last summer, so the club are under no pressure to sell unless they are made a significant offer.

Joe Hart to Liverpool

The Times is reporting that Pep Guardiola will let Joe Hart leave the club for £20m, even to a Premier League club, with Liverpool leading the chase. The City boss had been reluctant to sell to a rival, but he may be prepared to offload the unwanted goalkeeper to anyone who meets their valuation. The Anfield club's goalkeeper position has been a source of constant problems for Jurgen Klopp, with both Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius guilty of some high profile mistakes, and the German manager reportedly considers the England stopper one of his primary summer targets.

Roarie Deacon to Millwall

One of the heroes of Sutton United's FA Cup run, Roarie Deacon, is wanted by League One side Millwall, according to The Sun. The 25-year-old will be a free agent at the end of the season, and his performances against Leeds United and Arsenal have attracted the attention of a host of Football League clubs, including Fulham, Charlton Athletic, Cardiff City and Nottingham Forest, in addition to the The Lions. The U's are hoping to sign Deacon up to a new deal at Gander Green Lane, but with the former Sunderland man free to sign pre-contract agreements already, the chances of him remaining with the non-league club seem slim.
