Edinson Cavani, a reported summer transfer target for Chelsea and Manchester United, has revealed he will hold talks with his current club PSG about his future.

The Uruguay international has long been linked with a move to the Premier League and speculation is mounting that this summer will finally see the striker arrive in England.

There have been persistent reports during the 29-year-old's three years in the French capital that he is unsettled at the club, with the club's favouring of Zlatan Ibrahimovic as their lead striker cited as an issue. In these latest comments from Cavani, he insists he has no issue with the Swede, who is also being tipped to move to the Premier League.

"At the end of the season, we will discuss my situation with the president. I am ready to continue with PSG," Cavani told Telefoot.

"I have gone through three difficult seasons at PSG, but the support of the fans is important. I am very happy with Ibrahimovic's form and that he helps the team move forward.

"It is a very difficult moment for me, but I believe in myself. I am looking towards the future."

PSG are currently preparing for the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Manchester City which will take place on Wednesday.
