Arsenal are still hopeful of landing PSG striker Edinson Cavani, according to reports.
Despite adding Alexis Sanchez this summer and already having the likes of Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski in his ranks, Arsene Wenger looks intent to sign another forward and is willing to part with a massive £51 million to do so. This is according to Spanish journalist Kike Marin who says Arsenal are monitoring PSG’s move for Angel Di Maria, and have not ruled out one for Cavani this summer.
Marin tweeted:
‘A la espera de lo que suceda con Di María y el #PSG, el #Arsenal no descarta el fichaje de Cavani. Wenger quiere un 9 como el uruguayo.’
Any deal for Cavani, however, depends on the Ligue 1’s side pursuit of Di Maria.
PSG must offload players before adding to their current squad due to their inability to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, and with Cavani’s future in doubt at the Parc de Paris, he looks the obvious choice to depart the club.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have all been linked with the 27-year-old Uruguayan.
But with Arsenal splashing the cash and building to mount a serious challenge this season, Wenger may be prepared to spend big once again to land Cavani.
But should Arsenal target Cavani? More importantly, does a £51 million deal represent a good price for the Uruguay international?
Personally, I believe if Wenger is looking to add a striker to the squad then Cavani is probably his best option out there.
He is a proven goal scorer and works hard for the team – he could be the striker we have been craving for since Thierry Henry left the club eight years ago.
£51 million is a huge fee to part with but it represents value for money in my opinion. You have to spend big these days to land the top players and Cavani is certainly one of them. Yes, the striker will demand high wages but with many players leaving or being sold this summer, the club’s wage bill has lowered significantly.
If Wenger manages to pull off this deal then Arsenal will almost definitely be challenging for the title, perhaps even lift it come the end of the season.
Hell no!!!!!
no! better get reus + howedes + carvalho + 1 solid CB then we good to go!
I said no, he dont like and will not spend such amount to a player who did not proved anything in the past world cup. Signing him is a good one, but arsen can not spend such for him instead he will choose the cheaper french striker,
Hmmm! Then EPL and UCL titles are sure.
Should we buy Cavani hmmmm yes, yes we should. Why wouldn’t you want a world class striker like him at the Em’s ????
Sure why not UCL n BPL is sure 4 us
£51 million and high wage bill, tells you its a non starter.
He should. We haven’t had a squad of high profile players for ages now. We need to win the league and the Champions league.
Go for him Arsene. Don’t look for the cheaper French version. Also get Khedira and Tioti.
Make the rivals scard of playing Arsenal. Win like they did with commanding score lines of 5_6 goals.
please we dont want cavani. he is not in form and his price is too high. we need to fill where we should fill and not strikers. go for defenders and midfielders please wenger…… he is not sharp and have no pace. please get Reus and Thiorti from new castle or Mbia from QPR. buy defender in case of injury……… please wenger dont waste money on cavani……
No cavani way too expensive if arsene can spend that much on him then why didn’t he spend that on Suarez last season I’m sure we could have got him for 51 mil instead of bidding 40 mil and a pound ., this is just stupid propaganda by them idiots .,!
