AFTER BEING ASSURED by the Arsenal board that he has money to spend, Arsene Wenger has confirmed he is interested in signing Napoli striker Edison Cavani.

The Independent also report that Djibril Cisse is set to move to Al-Ghararafa. If Cisse does move to Qatar, it will be his sixth new club in as many years.
