Chelsea linked with Edinson Cavani

Chelsea have been linked with a summer swoop for Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani. 

According to indications from France, as cited in a report from Calciomercato, the Blues are preparing to make a move for the experienced attacker if a transfer ban does not hinder them.

Chelsea have struggled to convince in front of goal during Maurizio Sarri’s first season at the club. Olivier Giroud and Gonzalo Higuain have failed to shine, and Alvaro Morata is out on loan at Atletico Madrid.

The Blues could be on the lookout for added attacking quality in the summer, but the manager recently hinted that he expects the club to sign Higuain from Juventus on a permanent deal.

Nevertheless, this has not prevented speculation from gathering ahead of the summer transfer window, and PSG star Cavani has emerged as a possible target. 

Reports in January suggested that Chelsea were planning to make a £50 million move for the Uruguay international, but no move materialised.
