Arsene Wenger seems to have finally given up pursuit of Karim Benzema as fresh reports from the English media claim that the Gunners are all but set to make enquiries for Edinson Cavani and wantaway midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Arsenal chiefs have allegedly made contact with Paris Saint-Germain, with a formal bid believed to be in the pipeline and rumour has it that the French giants may offload the striker, having captured Angel di Maria, who can be billed to outrival the Uruguay international on the left wing.

Given the fact that the former Napoli marksman apparently is unhappy about being played out wide by Laurent Blanc, the prospect of spearheading an equally mighty side should be too tempting for him to turn down. Arsenal can also be a happy party as he will likely cost £10million less than their prime target Karim Benzema.

Adrien Rabiot wanting a move away from Parc des Princes has been on the news for a long time now and the French manager has reportedly given the 20-year-old his attention as he has asked his representatives to also enquire for the versatile starlet.

As the Emirates Stadium outfit are in desperate need for a centre-forward, this rumour makes sense as Edinson Cavani could lead them all the way to the Premier League title, with the type of midfielders that Arsenal will deploy behind him. Moreover, at a very tender age of twenty, Adrien Rabiot has sizable experience on the European soil and could be tipped to deprive his manager of woes in the middle of the park for the years to come.
