Lampard heaps praise on the PSG striker
The Blues are currently on the lookout for a forward in the January transfer market as they have been heavily reliant on the services of Tammy Abraham throughout the season. The 22-year-old has, however, been inconsistent in his form and this is evident when he struggled in the final third against Newcastle United on Saturday.
Cavani, whose contract with PSG expires at the end of the season, has informed the reigning Ligue 1 champions that he wants to leave this month after starting only four games for them this season. The Uruguayan’s situation at the Parc des Princes has drawn the attention of the likes of Atletico Madrid, Manchester United and Arsenal, who are all interested in landing the forward in the current window.
When asked about the speculation in a press conference on Monday, Lampard replied (via Sky Sports),
Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League and are next scheduled to face Arsenal on Tuesday.
