Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani has committed his future to the Ligue 1 side penning a new contract with Paris St Germain by two years until 2020, the French champions said on Tuesday.
Cavani, 30, has scored 125 goals in 192 competitive games for PSG, 20 of them in the Champions League – a club record.
"It is with a lot of joy that I extend my commitment to Paris St Germain," said Cavani.
"It has always been clear that my priority was to continue my history with PSG."
"I am convinced that the club has the potential to attain all its objectives. Together, we will be more and more ambitious in the coming seasons."
The forward's new deal will see him stay at the Parc des Princes until the summer of 2020 and ends any Premier League interest.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have all been linked with moves for Uruguayan Cavani who has enjoyed his most prolific season in front of goal this term.
The 30-year-old has already struck 31 times in just 32 Ligue 1 appearances as he steps up in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Swede Ibrahimovic signed for Manchester United last summer leaving Cavani as the main man in the French capital.
Cavani had failed to break the 20-goal mark in Ligue 1 in the previous three seasons before finding his best form this campaign.
He added eight goals in eight Champions League appearances to his league exploits before PSG dramatically went out against Barcelona.
PSG are second in the Ligue 1 standings, behind Monaco on goal difference.
