Arsenal fans awoke to good news today after reports coming out of France suggested Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani is looking to leave the Parc des Princes following at falling out with PSG teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic adding to his frustration of being played out of position by manger Laurent Blanc.
Cavani who is out of contract with the French champions in 2018 has hinted at a move away from Paris in the past.
“Currently, I am just thinking about finishing the season in Paris and also respecting my contract,” the Uruguayan said.
“My attention is only focused on training with the club that pays me. But anything can happen in football.”
Cavani was once more second fiddle to Ibrahimovic in last weekend’s 3-2 win over Marseille that now sees the Parisians back on top of Ligue 1, while Cavani did his utmost to quash the press claims that he had yet another row with Blanc’s preferred centre-forward.
“I do not know where this rumour of a bad relationship with Ibrahimovic comes from,” Cavani told Canal Plus.
“We are footballers who play for the same club and we respect one another. One cannot be friends with everyone.
“The only concern that I have ever spoken about is that I was recruited to play as a striker with Ibrahimovic and it has not always been the case.
“There is a long series of games where I have not scored in Ligue 1 but that can happen. In France, people judge me as a lone striker, but I do not play in that position.
“But aside from that, everything else is perfect here.”
