Arsenal reportedly failed to complete a move for Edinson Cavani after a summer-long pursuit, but recent reports claim that the player himself will ensure the rumour comes to fruition in January, according to a gibberish report from Metro.

The Uruguay international has gone off to a brilliant start to the campaign scoring five goals in six competitive games for Paris Saint-Germain and there should not be any reason for him to be unhappy when he has hit a purple patch of form for a club that challenge for Ligue 1 title, not to mention Champions League, of course.

Arsene Wenger has seldom been active in January unless a signing becomes absolutely essential as in the case of Gabriel Paulista.

Furthermore, inflated transfer fees are a cornerstone of every winter transfer window and the French manager, as we know, would never resort to shelling out ridiculous amounts of money.

With Danny Welbeck set to return to action at the turn of the year, a move for the 28-year-old marksman is out of the cards. Arsenal will ostensibly be hugely benefitted if the transfer does happen, but the odds are clearly against it as the Professor recently claimed that the trio of Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott could combine to score 60 goals this season.
