Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo confirmed this week that Edinson Cavani has asked to leave the club in the winter market.
The Uruguay international lost his prominence in the team after Mauro Icardi’s arrival on loan from Inter Milan. The 32-year-old has been restricted to only four starts in the league this season.
Atlético Madrid have been credited with an interest in the striker, but they will face competition from the Premier League, according to Spanish claims, as Tottenham Hotspur get a mention.
Tuesday’s edition of AS claims Spurs’ interest in the South American man appeared a few days ago.
José Mourinho is without Harry Kane and there are even fears the England international could miss the remainder of the season. 
Therefore, Mourinho would see Cavani’s transfer with ‘good eyes’ due to the absence of Kane.
However, Tottenham are not the only English club chasing the frontman as the report adds Chelsea are also interested.
Earlier today, we covered claims from L’Equipe and they mentioned Atletico and Chelsea as being interested.
Le Parisien cover the situation, and don’t name any English club.
