Uruguayan frontman fancies a switch to the Emirates.
Paris Saint Germain striker Edinson Cavani would favour a move to Arsenal over Manchester United or Liverpool if he is forced to leave the Ligue 1 giants at any point this year, the Daily Express reports.

Cavani landed himself in trouble with the Parisian club earlier this month when he failed to report to a mid-season training camp in Morocco with the rest of the squad.
That left huge question marks hanging over his future at the Parc des Princes, though it is believed that a deal to move him on will be conducted over the summer instead of in January.
The former Napoli man is said to be aware of the heavy interest being shown in him, and his chosen destination would be north London if given the choice.
However, coach Laurent Blanc said this week that the club had not received an offer for the player, though admitted that that doesn’t mean a move isn’t on the cards.
“It’s not impossible that one of our players will leave,” Blanc said.
“Thiago Motta, Lavezzi and Cavani? None of then has asked me to leave, and, moreover, it would be difficult for me to let them go.
“We have no offers from other clubs.”
