Everton ponder Cavani bid

That's the contention from TuttoMercato in Italy and it comes a few days after uncorroborated suggestions on social media that the Blues failed with a late bid for the striker in the last transfer window.

Cavani is being talked about in terms of leaving PSG following the arrival of Neymar which appears to be unsettling squad harmony there. The French giants deny that they offered Cavani €1m to hand penalty-taking duties over to the Brazilian following his world-record transfer from Barcelona but the Uruguayan did public his annoyance that he had been forced to move aside when it comes to spot kicks.

Cavani has since apologised for spitting his dummy out but there will, no doubt, be plenty of speculation over his future and Everton's need for a striker to replace Romelu Lukaku means their name won't be far away.

Cavani has been with PSG for four years now and has notched 95 goals in 140 appearances in Ligue 1 but talk of him joining the Blues is largely fantasy. His wages alone and desire for Champions League football would probably make it a non-starter.
