The
Daily Express claims that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is set to make the Uruguayan his number one striker target if Jamie Vardy decides
against a move to the Emirates.
The report goes on
to say that Cavani has rejected wages of up to £500,000 per week to move to
the Chinese Super League, as he's ready to make the move to the Premier League
instead.
Wenger is still waiting for the Foxes
forward Vardy to make a decision on his future, but if the Premier League's revelation of last year stays with the Foxes, the Uruguay international would
become the manager's top target.
When Cavani moved to
the French capital from Napoli in 2013, the 29-year-old was one of Europe's
hottest strikers until he was pushed into a wide role with PSG to accomodate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was the club's main striker.
As Les Parisiens will be losing Ibrahimovic this summer, and the Uruguay international is
expected to become the club's top striker. The French club's youngster, Jean-Kevin
Augustin, has a lot of talent, but he's still raw and won't be asked to lead one
of Europe's top outfits.
With few options available on the transfer market, PSG would rather not part with Cavani at this time.

Here's a look at
some of Uruguay international top moments for Paris Saint-German:
“In my opinion,
Cavani is an expensive veteran who hardly fits in with what the Gunners
generally look for in a player. It's easy to see why Wenger would prefer Vardy at this time, as the England international is a proven performer in the
Premier League and won't be nearly as expensive."
According to Bleacher Report UK, Gunners legend Thierry Henry was not impressed with the striker's decision
to let Arsenal wait for now.

From Uruguay to
Albania, Arsenal are "weighing up a £15m to hijack Barcelona and Manchester United in ace chase" for Elseid Hysaj.
The 22-year-old
Napoli right-back played in his country's opening Euro 2016 clash against
Switzerland on Saturday and is described by the Star as one of Europe's
"brightest young defensive talents".
Wenger is in France running the rule over Hysaj and "is
poised to confirm his interest with a concrete offer".
The Gunners manager
is particularly drawn to Hysaj's versatility because he is comfortable at
both left and right-back and he's also aware that the player has attracted interest
from Chelsea and Manchester United.
However, the
Frenchman is confident the lure of Champions League football will prove enough
of a draw for Hysaj.
Previously we
reported that that sources in Germany are reporting that Wenger is hunting Bayern Munich's Brazil defender Rafael Alcantara do Nascimento, commonly known as Rafinha.
The 30-year-old has
been scouted by Arsenal and the South American could soon be seen
at the Emirates.
