Edinson Cavani pledges his loyalty to Napoli

Napoli forward and Parlermo loanee Edinson Cavani has been in scintillating form this Serie A campaign. He has lead Napoli to possibly, qualification in the Champions League and sits second on the top scorers list just one goal behind Antonio Di Natale (26 goals).

His stunning performances have rightfully attracted the attention of big name clubs, including Chelsea, Juventus and just recently Real Madrid who are looking to add to their strikeforce, with the loan of Adebayor coming to an end. With uncertainty about his future arising Cavani did the work of his agent and quashed all rumours by pledging his loyalty to Napoli.

The forward was quick to say that he wanted to stay at the club and play for them in the Champions League next season. Napoli had been challenging Milan for the title, but a recent loss to the Rossoneri have all but ended their hopes. They face Parlermo this week, the club that Cavani may return to next year.

Player of the Week - Edinson Cavani (Napoli)

It hasn’t been to long since Napoli F.C’s new signing, Edinson Cavani, arrived at the club. He has had a tremendous impact at Napoli and keeps raising the club’s hopes of a number one finish in the Serie A over Italian giants Juventus, AC Milan and Internazionale.
 

Edinson Cavani has been the catalyst of Napoli’s turn around to the new season. It has been nearly twenty years since Napoli had finished in the top three and now it is looking good for the sky blues which now sits in second - one win away from catching Milan.

Cavani carries ten goals to his name in his first season at Napoli alongside Antonio Di Natale (Udinese) both leading the Serie A top goalscorers list. Cavani won Napoli's last game against Lecce with a superb effort in the 90th minute which saw him score one of the best goals in the Serie A 2010/2011 to date.

His performances in the 2010 World Cup were also very strong, scoring on several occasions for the Uruguayan national team. It was made more difficult for him to perform as he was up agains World Class players and teams.

This was further justified as he said;


“they closed down the spaces well and made it hard for us to play our game. This was a deserved victory as we kept plugging away right to the death and never gave in.”

Cavani has caught the eye of bigger clubs in Europe including the likes of Barcelona and Chelsea. The striker certainly has made his mark on the Serie A this year and will look to finish strongly with Napoli in the league.
