With only Fernando Torres as the established centre-forward at the club, Daniel Sturridge unproven in that position and Romelu Lukaku allowed to go out on loan to West Brom, I would be surprised if Chelsea did not sign another striker this summer.
But who could we sign? The Evening Standard reported that we have agreed a transfer fee with Napoli for Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani but we’ve yet to agree personal terms, as he’s allegedly asking for £150k-a-week which would put him on par with the likes of Frank Lampard and John Terry.
Aurelio de Laurentiis, Napoli’s president, has been quite vocal about Cavani over the summer and had publicly slapped a huge price-tag on the forward but the Evening Standard said the Serie A club will accept an offer closer to the £30 million mark. It was also rumoured that de Laurentiis sent an agent to London to thrash out a deal.
Now both TMW and Calciomercato believe Raul Meireles has been brought into the deal and the Portuguese midfielder could be used in a cash+exchange deal for Cavani but these sorts of deals rarely come off. I’m sure if Napoli will put in a bid for Meireles if they want him but the deals will stay separate.
Cavani had a poor Olympics campaign with Uruguay which may have put some clubs off but his record in Serie A makes for impressive reading as he scored 66 goals in 94 appearances for Napoli. Chelsea are in need of a striker to compete with Torres, could he be the one? I’d prefer someone like Radamel Falcao, personally, but what do you think?
First and foremost let us go 4 a right back, then if i were 2 a stiker, i’ll go 4 Cavani. If chelsea do not give torres and sturridge a challenger in the striking position believe u me those guys (torres and sturridge) wil us up this season! True blusssssssss 4 life.

Rademel Falcao Garcia is the best option Chelsea should get in order to fill that position.
EDINSON CAVANI OR ANDRE SCHURLE IS THE RIGHT AND PERFECT CHOICE FOR NOW.TORRES AND STURRIDGE ARE CONSISTENT. BUT MIND U, WE NEED A RIGHT BACK AS OUR PRIORITY. I THINK AZPILICUETA IS WELL SUITED IN THAT POSITION.LONG LIVE CHELSEA FANS,LONG LIVE CHELSEA PLAYERS,LONG LIVE CHELSEA MEMBERS OF STAFF AND COACHING CREW,AND LONG LIVE ROMAN ABRAMOVICH. BLUES 4 LIFE
I think Cavani will giv us a real value 4our money wit his lethal finish n fluency against English oppositions. I just wish he can lower his wage demands to around £120k-a week

Experence is the best teacher i think Radamel Falcao is prolific & sensational striker which may be useful as an instrument in the champions’league, while cavani is likely to be good in domestic league[EPL] although his 66 goals in serialA may not yeld any positive result in the EPL,In conclusion I prefare Radamel Falcoa than Edison Cavani because of his champion’s league experence he has an outstanding qualities but not optional,chealsea should go for him but forget completely about Halk.
I heard that chelsea director of football Emelano had submitted £24+ R. Merieles for Cavani last night. Hope it get accepted by them. Concerning his wages demand i know for sure he would lower it. We are in FFP era, he would understand. RB issues guys calm down, for sure chelsea would get a decent one. I CAN BET IT WITH MY *****
Cavani all the way!! He is a brilliant player,classic finisher.I just pray we can secure his service at chelsea.long live chelsea!!Blues for ever!!!
