The Gunners were interested in signing Cavani during the summer transfer window when the 27-year-old looked destined for a move away from the Parc de Princes, but he opted to say put instead.
However, former PSG goalkeeper Jerome Alonzo has said that Cavani has become ‘sad’ and ‘unrecognisable’ in France and could be set for a transfer during the January transfer window.
According to reports Chelsea and Liverpool are also keen on the Uruguayan, but the Daily Star has suggested that Arsenal are leading the race for the player’s signature and are the clear favourites to sign Cavani, with a transfer fee rumoured to be around £55 million.
