Chelsea to rival Arsenal, Man Utd for Edinson Cavani
Premier League holders Chelsea are set to battle it out with Arsenal and Manchester United for the services of Paris Saint-Germain star Edinson Cavani.
The Uruguay international is said to be unsettled at Parc des Princes mainly due to Laurent Blanc's reluctance to play him in the centre-forward role.
French source Le 10 Sport claims that the Blues are desperate to land a new striker in January having seen star striker Diego Costa go off the boil this season.
It is added that manager Jose Mourinho considers Cavani as the ideal player to change the club's fortunes in the second half of the campaign.
Blues have made a dismal start to their league defence, and currently find themselves in 16th place with just 11 points.
