Arsenal boss Wenger: I really like Cavani

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he's been following Edinson Cavani's situation at PSG. Cavani has often been forced to play out wide at the Parc des Princes to make room for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

And Wenger thinks that the Swede's dominance has hampered Cavani.

Speaking before PSG's match against Lyon over the weekend - in which Cavani scored - Wenger said: "I really like the player, I like his attitude, but I think he plays a bit with the hand brake on.

"I feel that he is not expressing himself fully.

"At the same time, it's true Ibrahimovic has taken such a prominent place at PSG. There is little room for another attacker around him.

"We keep saying that it will come, it will come naturally, but it does not feel like he has completely blossomed.

"I hope it will come for him."
