Report: Arsenal to switch attention from Karim Benzema to Edinson Cavani

Arsenal have expressed an interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani if they fail to land Karim Benzema, according to reports.

The Real Madrid forward is said to be Arsene Wenger's top target, but he is reportedly unwilling to meet the La Liga club's asking price, claimed to be in excess of £46m.

According to Fichajes.net, the Gunners will turn their attention to the Uruguay star and will offer PSG £35.5m for his signature.

Cavani signed for the French capital outfit in 2013 from Napoli, and has gone on to score 34 goals in 65 games for the Ligue 1 giants.
