The Sunday Express. The 25-year-old Uruguayan impressed last season in the Champions League encounters against Chelsea and has now raked up an incredible 49 goals in 68 games that has elevated him into being one of the most talked about strikers in Europe. The 6 foot 2 inches tall front-man could be the key for new boss Roberto Di Matteo in his search to find a replacement for Didier Drogba, who left Stamford Bridge this summer when his contract expired. For Uruguay, Cavani has scored 11 goals in 40 appearances and for Manchester City, could be an option if they fail in their bid to sign wantaway Arsenal captain Robin Van Persie (who seems to prefer a move to Manchester United) and if they offload Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko. Cavani is currently locked into a contract at Napoli until 2016.
