are keen to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani, according to
several reports including Metro.
Edinson
Cavani has been strongly linked with a move away from France with Manchester
United and Arsenal keeping tabs on the player.
Arsenal
current striking options include Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud who both are
yet to impress in front of goals. Meanwhile,
Lukas Podolski, Joel Campbell and Yaya Sanogo are out on loan and are likely to
seal a permanent move in the summer.
Cavani
has already expressed his desire to play in the Premier League with reports
further revealing that he is not happy at PSG.

Uruguayan has not been given his favourite central role due to the presence pf
Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Despite of playing in the left attacking side he has
managed 40 goals in 71 appearances.

the former Napoli man. And reports further revealed that the French giants are
ready to sell their forward for £50million.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is also keen to sign Cavani as they plans to offload Radamel Falcao back to AS Monaco.
