Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to splash out big for Napoli star Edinson Cavani. The Mail on Sunday says Wenger is ready to break the bank at last with a £30million bid for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani as the Frenchman bids to save Arsenal's season.

Wenger is ready to act after watching his side fall 11 points off the pace in the Premier League title race following a 3-3 draw at home against Fulham on Saturday.

The Arsenal manager has been under massive pressure from fans and shareholders to start splashing big money in a bid to end the club's eight-year wait for a trophy, and he has decided 25-year-old Uruguay forward Cavani is top priority after getting a glowing report on the player from chief scout Steve Rowley.
