The Guardian Rumour Mill claim that PSG striker Edinson Cavani is on the radar for both Tottenham and Manchester United, with the 32-year-old Uruguayan international having an injury-hit season with the French giants that has seen the former Napoli star play second-fiddle to the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi.
Will Spurs Replace Kane In The Transfer Window?
We Have To
No Chance
Despite Cavani being one of the most potent strikers in European football in the last decade and an attacker praised for his work ethic, something Jose Mourinho would be a fan of, lots of Spurs supporters on social media were not big fans of Tottenham going in for the PSG attacker.
Here’s what a lot of Tottenham supporters had to say about Cavani potentially joining Spurs to fill in for Kane…
Nonsense, we won’t pay his wages PSG won’t let him go this window.
