10 Most Overrated Players In World Football Right Now

1. Edinson Cavani (PSG)

The Uruguayan is being touted as being the next forward to lead the line at Chelsea. However, it's a distinct possibility that Cavani could flop in the Premier League in exactly the same style as Radamel Falcao. The 29 year old scored an impressive 78 goals in 104 appearances during his time at Napoli and was rewarded with a big-money move to free-spending Paris Saint-Germain in 2013. However, despite a return of roughly a goal every two games, the French club's number nine has struggled to live up to his reported ‚64.5 million price tag - the biggest ever in French football. Outside of Ligue 1, Cavani hasn't exactly set the Champions League alight and is often found to go missing in big games, unlike his team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has regularly carried the team. With the Uruguayan soon to reach the twilight of his career, it is clear he has one big pay day left in him, but a shot at the Premier League could prove too much and ruin the reputation he has managed to build up over the years.
