Club Hero: Man Utd & Arsenal Targeted £55M Hot Shot Could Leave

Former Paris Saint Germain hero Jerome Rothen has said that he does not believe that current club striker Edinson Cavani will be with the French side for much longer, putting the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United on red alert, as reported by the Daily Express.

Cavani has never truly looked settled since joining PSG last summer from Napoli.

While he moved for a huge fee of £55 million, it has never seemed as though the price tag was a particular issue in him settling at his new club.

Instead, his use in the side, often on the right side of an attacking three, has made it difficult for him to replicate his stunning form of the past.

Arsenal and Man Utd have both been said to be interested in him in the past, which means that both Premier League giants could take advantage of the fact that he is supposedly unsettled to agree a deal.

Rothen said: “He [Cavani] may yet succeed in Paris, but his performance will be almost the same.

“Everything depends on the tactical choices of Laurent Blanc. However, I do not see him staying long in Paris. If he repeats his desire to start, the club does not hold onto him.”

£55M Arsenal Mega Target Reportedly ‘Sad’ At Current Club

Former Paris Saint Germain star Jerome Alonzo has suggested that Uruguay international Edinson Cavani is unhappy at the French giants, opening up the possibility of him making a huge switch to Arsenal in the near future, as reported by the Daily Star.

The striker signed for the Parisian side last summer for a huge £55 million fee from Napoli, but has never looked entirely settled during his time, failing to replicate his previously dynamic form.

This is partly as a result of his role in the team, which regularly sees him shifted out wide to accommodate Zlatan Ibrahimovic through the middle.

With Ibrahimovic absent last night, Cavani was given the opportunity to play up front, but Alonso feels his display suggests that the player is still unhappy at the club.

Alonso said: “We no longer recognize Cavani. He looks sad, his eyes no longer sparkle.

“With Cavani before, Paris can score a fourth goal late in the game. But his game is stereotyped.”

As a result, Arsenal are thought to be leading the chase for his signature, having targeted him in the summer as a possible attacking option.

 

£51m Man Utd And Arsenal Target In Stunning Exit Hopes – reports

Paris Saint Germain’s Uruguayan hot shot Edinson Cavani is reportedly looking to leave the French champions, as reported by The Metro.

The striker was keen on a move away from the Parc des Princes this summer, but assurances were given to him and supposed links to Premier League sides never came to fruition.

However, the French outlet L’Equipe are reporting that the player has still not accepted being played out of position by manager Laurent Blanc, and is now looking to leave the club at the end of the season.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is regularly played ahead of him in the central striking berth, with the 27 year old instead used on the left flank. He has managed two goals in the six games that PSG have played so far this season, but feels as though he would get more joy if used through the middle.

Both Man Utd and Arsenal were linked with moves for the player in the summer, and despite laying out significant sums on strikers recently, they may be interested in making another move if Cavani pushes for a departure.
