The Gunners will move for the Uruguayan if Vardy move falls through

Arsenal are prepared to offer Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani a ÂŁ120,000-a-week deal to move to the Emirates if a deal for Jamie Vardy falls through.

Arsene Wenger had hoped to seal a deal for the Leicester City striker before he headed the European Championships with England, however, he has instead delayed the move until after the tournament.

The Gunners activated a ÂŁ20 million release clause in Vardy’s contract last week.

And that news has forced the Frenchman to look for alternatives, in the case that the deal for the 29-year-old doesn’t materialise.

Cavani has been sounded out as a potential strike partner for Olivier Giroud, who netted in France’s opening day victory at Euro 2016 on Friday.

It is understood that the Uruguay international will leave the Parc des Princes this summer, with fellow frontman Zlatan Ibrahimovic also having left, after he allowed his contract to run down.

Cavani recently turned down ÂŁ500,000-a-week to move to the Chinese Super League, and it seems he could follow Ibrahimovic to the Premier League, with the Sweden international expected to join Manchester United.

However, Arsenal are prepared to wait to see what Vardy has to say about a move to the Emirates, but will have to sit tight until Vardy returns from the European Championships.
