Edinson Cavani: Pundit discusses possible Chelsea transfer
Edinson Cavani may prefer to join Chelsea or Tottenham ahead of Manchester United if he has a desire to keep playing Champions League football this season, says Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol. Cavani has handed in a transfer request at Paris Saint-Germain and wants to leave six months before his contract expires at the Parc des Princes.
Atletico Madrid are said to be the only club who have approached PSG over a move for the Uruguay international so far.
