Edinson Cavani - Spotlight On
Having only secured one high-profile signing this summer in the form of Petr Cech from Chelsea, Arsenal are still on the hunt for their marquee signing.
The Gunners had set their sights on Real Madrid ace Karim Benzema, however the Frenchman has dismissed those claims insisting the Bernabeu is his "home".
However, after giving up on the hope of landing Benzema, Arsenal have since turned their attention to PSG ace Cavani, and the Daily Mail claim they held talks on Monday to sign the Uruguayan striker along with Rabiot.
However, it appears the move to sign the 28-year-old frontman could be too complex to be to be completed before the deadline at 6pm on September 1.
