Chelsea Transfers: 5 Forwards To Replace Daniel Sturridge

3. Edison Cavani

Edinson-Cavani Edinson Cavani's prolific record of 22 goals in 22 appearances for Napoli this season has made him a wanted man. Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed recently to Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport that he rejected a massive ‚55 million (£45m) offer from an unnamed club during the past transfer window, and the Uruguayan hitman signed a new five year contract with the Italian side in May. However, that shouldn't deter Chelsea. There's a £51.7m buy-out-clause in his new contract with Napoli which could be triggered should Roman Abramovic feel the need. A move to Stamford Bridge might seem unlikely, but in a world where contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, anything could happen. Source(s): International Business Times
