There's nothing like a boost to beat the winter blues and according to the Daily Star Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have just received such a fillip in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain star Edinson Cavani.

It's been no secret that the Uruguay striker has grown increasingly unhappy in Paris playing second fiddle to Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and now comes news that the French champions have offered a new contract to Javier Pastore. The Star claims the deal "may spell the end for Cavani" and increase the scramble to sign the former Napoli frontman as early as next month.
