Former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Jerome Rothen believes that Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani will forever be in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shadow at the French club.

The Frenchman also doubts Cavani's long-term future with the club, thinking the forward's days with the outfit are numbered.

"If Cavani considers himself a star in the team, it could be a concern because, in Paris, it's Zlatan and then the rest. They must deal with Zlatan, who is a player beyond the norm," the 36-year-old said, according to Goal.com.

"For me, Cavani is not among the great attackers, like Ibra, Messi or Ronaldo. He's a player who needs others and will not decide something with a bit of class, an individual moment.

"He can still succeed in Paris, but his performances will be more or less the same. Everything depends on the tactical choices of Laurent Blanc. However, I can't see him staying long-term in Paris."

Cavani joined the Ligue 1 club in 2013 in a £54m deal, which saw him end his three seasons with Napoli in Serie A.
