Edinson Cavani

According to reports from The Express yesterday afternoon, Arsenal and Manchester United target Edinson Cavani has handed in a transfer request at PSG. 

Despite boasting a potent return of 50 goals in 91 appearances for the Ligue 1 champions, the Uruguay international has never quite settled in Paris – often finding himself fielded out wide to accommodate Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a lone centre-forward.

As This Is Futbol revealed last month, the 28 year-old’s agent refused to rule out a summer move to the Premier League after a touchline bust-up with manager Laurent Blanc during a recent 3-2 win over Marseille, and speculation of a switch to either Arsenal or Manchester United has persisted ever since.

Last week, the former Napoli star held crisis talks with the PSG hierarchy – as This Is Futbol reported on Thursday.

And it appears the situation has further developed, with The Express claiming Cavani has now handed in a formal transfer request.

How much the Parisians would demand for a striker they paid £55million for just two summers ago remains to be seen.
