Report: Arsene Wenger gives green light for Edinson Cavani move

Arsenal have already got the ball rolling in their efforts to bring Edinson Cavani to England in the new year, reports suggest.

Cavani, who is thought to be unhappy with playing out of position to accommodate Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Paris Saint-Germain, is a player that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admires.

"I really like the player," the Frenchman is quoted as saying by The Express. "I like his attitude.

"But I think he plays a bit with the hand brake on. I feel that he is not expressing himself fully."

Arsenal officials will now reportedly fly to Paris to discuss the deal, although it is thought that they would have to stump up £55m to bring Cavani to the Emirates.
