Transfer news: Manchester United and Chelsea target Edinson Cavani wants move to Premier League Sky sources are reporting that Edinson Cavani has instructed his agent to investigate a potential move to the Premier League. The 27-year-old Uruguay international joined Paris Saint-Germain from Napoli for around £55m last summer
and signed a five-year contract,
but now appears keen on a move away from the French capital. And the news will be of particular interest to Chelsea and Manchester United, who have both been linked with the forward.
Cavani enjoyed a successful first season with PSG, who retained the Ligue 1 title and also won the Coupe de la Ligue, with Cavani scoring both goals in the final.
But the
Uruguayan is reportedly unhappy about the way he is utilized by the club, who often deploy him in wide positions so the prolific Zlatan Ibrahimovic can play through the middle.

Asked whether a move to Old Trafford was in his future, he said:
