Chelsea and Manchester City set to go to war over Edinson Cavani

EDINSON CAVANI is set to spark a £30million summer transfer scrap.

Chelsea and Manchester City have been sounded out over a deal for the unsettled Paris Saint-Germain forward, even though he has two years left on his deal.

Cavani, 29, has his heart set on England after three seasons in France.

Antonio Conte is the front-runner for the Chelsea job and he is a huge admirer of the ex-Napoli star.

The Uruguayan also fits the bill for Pep Guardiola at City, who is set to look for a striker to support Sergio Aguero.

Manchester United are long-term admirers of Cavani but failure to reach the Champions League could damage their chances of landing him.
