Chelsea transfer target Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani wants to move Chelsea and hes gald work with Jose Mourinho.

With each passing day, a move to the EPL for Edinson Cavani becomes more and more plausible.

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:

“I don’t know if they made an offer for me, I just know that to be coached by someone like Manuel Pellegrini or Jose Mourinho would always be a pleasure.

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.”

New Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho appears eager to overhaul his striking department this summer, and has a number of potential targets to choose from.

Top of that list is Edinson Cavani, who is the subject of a £54 million player-plus-cash bid from the Europa League winners, with Fernando Torres offered in part-exchange for the Napoli forward.

Edinson Cavani is 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,

But Cavani isn’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.

There will be questions about Chelsea’s need for Cavani.
