Why a ‘Giroud plus £35M’ move to land this man makes sense

|

Edinson CavaniArsene Wenger is preparing to launch a player-plus-cash move to land Edinson Cavani from PSG.

According to the Independent, Wenger is growing frustrated of Olivier Giroud’s inconsistency and is planning to offer the French forward plus £35 million upfront in order to secure the services of Cavani.

We have been tracking the Uruguayan for some time now and have again been linked with a move for him this summer as we look to strengthen our striking options.

The PSG striker is said to be unsettled at the Parc des Princes, but the Ligue 1 club are only willing to sell if the player’s £51 million buyout clause is met.

Due to a rib injury suffered by Zlatan Ibrahimovic last weekend however has Laurent Blanc pondering whether to sell Cavani at all. But the PSG boss may consider doing business with Wenger if Giroud was part of a potential offer.

As for Giroud, well he hasn’t exactly settled as well as many had hoped and his future looks in doubt at the Emirates due to his inconsistent performances.

Giroud’s off-field antics last season didn’t do him any favours with Wenger either, with previous reports suggesting his wife was looking to persuade the ex-Montpellier to return to France in March.

We have already forked out over £60 million for new recruits this summer, with Alexis Sanchez being the marquee signing thus far, but Wenger is shrewd when it comes to buying and a £51 million move for Cavani would be paying over the odds and a lot of cash to part with.

But Giroud plus £35 million could just tempt PSG to sell, while the French club would get a proven striker in the Ligue 1, Arsenal would be getting a forward known for goals, goals, goals.

Cavani scored 25 goals in his debut season for PSG since his move from Napoli, where he found the net 104 times in three seasons at the Serie A club.

This would be a great deal to undertake and hopefully it comes to fruition.

If we manage to sign Cavani for just £35 million then that would be seen as a bargain but pundits and fans alike.

Giroud is struggling and although he had a decent season for us last term, getting rid of him in order to see Cavani in the red and white of Arsenal would be worth it.

A sensible and thought out reported proposal. I hope to see it come to pass.

Giroud plus £35 million for Cavani?

    Honestly,I prefer falcao to cavani because falcao is hard working and very strong. He has a great off the ball movement and has a good work rate plus a natural goal scorer. But cavani,leaving aside his under achievement in the just concluded world cup,cavani is only good at goals. His work rate is not too good.but of course he is better than giroud. We are still looking forward to see arsene sign a beast of a DM and a CB. Pls arsene,give us a real say in the title race .Up gunners .
