Arsenal have been dealt yet another blow in their search for a new striker.
Arsene Wenger is facing the prospect of being turned down by both Jamie Vardy and Alvaro Morata, and now it seems another top striker has no interest in moving to the Emirates.
Edinson Cavani of Paris Saint-Germain is set to sign a new contract that will keep him with the Ligue 1 champions until 2020, according to Sky Italia.
The Uruguayan should receive £6.25million a season from his new contract, so unsurprisingly, it looks like money has spoken, as it so often does when it comes to PSG.
Unlike Vardy, Cavani never looked like a concrete possibility, but now that he has committed his future to Laurent Blanc’s team, the Arsenal speculation can finally be put to bed.
2015/2016 was a decent season for Cavani as he scored 19 goals in 24 Ligue 1 appearances, though he was always playing second fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Nonetheless, he has been playing in a far less competitive league than the Premiership, so the Gunners may have just been spared paying well over the odds for him.
