Arsenal to step up January interest in Edinson Cavani amid uncertainty in Paris

ARSENAL are ready to step up their interest in Edinson Cavani.

 

The PSG striker admitted he was unsure about returning to Paris after Friday's terror attacks.

Cavani was on international duty when 129 people were killed in attacks around the city.

Team-mate David Luiz had admitted he doesn't want to return, and Cavani has added to those feelings.

 

And reports in Spain now suggest Arsenal could offer him an escape when the transfer window opens in January.

Uruguay midfielder Alvaro Gonzales said: "This is horrible, for football and for the city.

"They spoke of the fact that David Luiz would not return to Paris and Edinson said he would rather not have to go either."

 

Former Chelsea defender Luiz had originally said: "I have my girlfriend and some family and friends in Paris. 

"They were all very sad and scared. I don't know what I'm going to do and whether I will head back [to Paris]. 

"Playing for PSG is my job but if it were up to me than I would not go back."
