Papin can see Arsenal, Liverpool target Cavani leaving PSG

Former Olympique Marseille and Bayern Munich star Jean Pierre Papin believes Edinson Cavani will leave PSG in January.

With Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United circling, Cavani has struggled for form this season, with Papin convinced his heart is no longer in his job at PSG.

Papin believes Cavani's divorce is a big factor.

"Compared to what I see on the ground, I especially feel this is a boy who is not feeling good about himself," said Papin.

"A crisis of confidence? We can summarize all the problems with these words: yes.

"I've also experienced a difficult divorce, I can tell you that this is the kind of thing that can consume you if you do not have a close-knit group around you.

"I think he's suffering badly from this divorce."

He added: "If mentally you are not 200% every time you play a game, especially at this level, it becomes difficult."
