Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel said he has seen an improvement from Edinson Cavani now the transfer window is no longer a distraction.

Cavani is in the final six months of his contract at the Parc des Princes, and he was linked with a departure to Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United in January, but he remained with PSG.

Per Goal's Sacha Pisani, Tuchel said after PSG's 4-2 win over Lyon on Sunday:

"Whenever there's competition it's good. We need all the players. I've always said that.

"You can feel that Edi is stronger in training at the moment because things are clear after the [market].
