With each passing day, a move to the EPL for Edinson Cavani becomes more and more plausible.<\/p>\n
The most recent development comes from an interview with , in which the Uruguayan said that playing with Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho “would always be a pleasure.” In response to questions about the interest of Chelsea , the 26-year-old attacker said:<\/p>\n
“I don’t know if they made an offer for me, I just know that to be coached by someone like Manuel\u00a0Pellegrini\u00a0or Jose\u00a0Mourinho\u00a0would always be a pleasure.<\/p>\n
And when the time is right it would be great to play for one of these teams, because when I was a child I imagined doing it.”<\/p>\n
New Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho appears eager to overhaul his striking department this summer, and has a number of potential targets to choose from.<\/p>\n
Top of that list is Edinson Cavani, who is the subject of a \u00a354 million player-plus-cash bid from the Europa League winners, with Fernando Torres offered in part-exchange for the Napoli forward.<\/p>\n
Edinson Cavani\u00a0is still under contract with Napoli, and his price tag is steep, so it’s worth taking this news with a grain of salt. But speculation surrounding his potential departure has been steadily increasing,<\/p>\n
But\u00a0Cavani\u00a0isn’t just an elite finisher. He has the strength to hold onto the ball and keep off defenders, a trait that will help him immensely in a potential shift to the rigorous EPL.<\/p>\n
There will be questions about Chelsea’s need for\u00a0Cavani.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
