Arsenal move in on top striker as his club pursue replacement

Arsenal are reportedly said to be keen on bringing Edinson Cavani to The Emirates this summer, with Angel Di Maria’s protracted move holding the key. Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with the Manchester United target all summer, with Real Madrid all set to cash-in to recoup some of their transfer kitty back after a busy summer of new Galacticos.

The Gunners have been linked with the Uruguay forward since the weekend, but appear to be trying to drive the Paris clubs asking fee down from the original £50M asking price. Cavani is a huge player, but has become increasingly frustrated with his lack of playing time in the central striker role, and has told the media of his frustrations on a number of occasions, leading Man United and Chelsea to take an interest, only for their interest to fizzle out.

He would no doubt add another dimension to our attacking force, and is the standard of player who would strike fear into defenders. He could be the difference between us challenging for the title until February-March or until the final day of the season. If we could break the bank on this one, it will pay off ten-fold in my eyes.

How much would you pay?
