Arsenal could be involved in a sensational swap deal involving Olivier Giroud and Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani.

French website Sport.fr believe Arsene Wenger is still hoping to sign a world class forward and wonders if the Uruguayan could be the man to solve his striker problems.

Ángel Di María also involved

It has been reported that £25 million and Giroud would be enough for PSG to part ways with Cavani and that money could also be used to sign Ángel Di María to the Paris club.

With Cavani looking to leave PSG, this incredible transfer deal could be perfect for all parties involved. However, whether or not this could actually occur remains to be seen.

And also whether fans of the Paris club would like to see Cavani leave is unsure, especially with Giroud not being the most illustrious of replacements.

Strange rumour?

This rumour does seem a far-fetched one but with speculation previously suggesting that Arsenal bid for Uruguayan recently there could be an element of truth in the deal.

Something that seems certain is that this deal could be a pivotal one for the Gunners. Giroud has been an excellent player and signing for Wenger since moving two years ago but isn’t in the world class bracket.

Arsenal require a forward capable of taking them to the next level and Giroud unfortunately isn’t that.

Perfect deal…

It leaves the club in a tricky situation needing a new centre forward capable of taking them to the elite level and able to compete in the Premier League and Champions League.

However, the club probably couldn’t fund a move for a world class striker with just cash. Therefore this deal could be perfect.

Whilst this rumour seems crazy it could be a deal that would push Arsenal up alongside the biggest clubs in the world, would fans be happy with this transfer?
