# Chelsea: Fans give their approval over potential signing of Edinson Cavani

**Chelsea fans were left giving their seal of approval over a move for Edinson Cavani after Paris Saint Germain admitted the player wants to leave the French side.**

The Ligue 1 table-toppers came out on Sunday and claimed the player wants to depart the French capital as he handed in a formal transfer request. La Liga side Atletico Madrid have been linked with a move for the Uruguayan this winter and their chief Miguel Angel Gil Martin held talks with Nasser Al-Khelaifi last Tuesday to discuss a transfer [(via Sky Sports)](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11820/11913232/edinson-cavani-hands-in-paris-saint-germain-transfer-request).

One fan gave any transfer the thumbs up as he called him ‘proven’.

> Why not ? Proven I’d have him at Chelsea 100%

The west London side are said to have formally enquired [(via L’Equipe)](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Transferts-edinson-cavani-psg-la-tentation-du-depart/1095898) over a move for the player amid claims from Frank Lampard that he wants to strengthen his attack this month [(via The Telegraph)](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/01/17/frank-lampard-will-not-make-knee-jerk-signing-search-new-chelsea/). Cavani has endured a frustrating campaign as a plethora of injuries have reduced him to just 14 appearances across all competitions [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/edinson-cavani/leistungsdaten/spieler/48280). Due to the [PSG forward’s](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/24328/Show/Edinson-Cavani) limited game time, [Tammy Abraham](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/317506/Show/Tammy-Abraham) averages more shots per league game this season (per WhoScored).

Fans are happy for the club to make a move for the player as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Stamford Bridge faithful:
