Napoli’s Edinson Cavani looks set to join Chelsea for £35million, according to reports surfacing from the UK and Italy overnight.


The rumours would seems to be substantiated as Chelsea have released Lukaku on loan, which leaves us with Torres and Sturridge up front – worryingly light for a season of many games with us hopefully chasing trophies on many fronts.


Cavani has netted 66 times for Napoli in just 94 games, is reported to be seeking £150,000-per-week wages from Chelsea.


The reports this morning all agree that Napoli owner Aurelio de Laurentiis is reportedly happy to let his prize asset go. The Uruguay international has scored 11 goals in 40 caps for his country since he made his debut back in 2008, and has hugely impressed for Napoli in the league.


Cavani is 25 and has been tipped to leave Napoli for some time now, but previously the Naples club were not keen on losing their star man. It now appears that the owner is happy, if the price is right.


This one has been ticking along for a while, but the fact that Chelsea have just let Lukaku go for the season may mean that the ‘Cavani to Chelsea’ rumour may actually carry some weight, and that things may already be in motion behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge.
