Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery says the French champions could sign Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez.

The 23-year-old would provide support in attack to Edinson Cavani for PSG, who saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic leave at the end of the season before joining Manchester United.

"It's a possibility, as are other opportunities in the transfer window," Emery said during PSG's tour of the USA. 

"I know Jese well, the club knows Jese well, he is a good player."

Jese scored five league goals for Real last season, but struggled to force his way past Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo to get into the starting line-up.

He came through the Real Madrid academy, making his senior debut in 2011, and has gone on to score 13 goals in La La Liga in more than 50 appearances.
