Edinson Cavani could be on his way to Stamford Bridge, after the player’s representatives were spotted in London, rumored to be holding transfer talks with the Chelsea hierarchy.

The Uruguayan secured his dream move from Napoli to money bags PSG last summer in a multi million pound deal estimated to be in the region of £54 million. However, reports of the player being unsettled at his new club have emerged, and is now looking to jump ship this summer.

Despite off field problems, the striker has been able to justify his transfer fee with 13 goals in 21 games in the domestic French league, propelling his club to the top of the table.

David Moyes and Manchester United were heavily linked with a move for the goal scoring machine, and will hope to battle it out with rivals Chelsea for Cavani’s signature.

Reports of the 26-year old moving to England in January were pre-mature, but a deal for the talented forward looks imminent in the summer.
