Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has earmarked Uruguayan international Edinson Cavani as a January transfer window target as he looks to bring in more attacking options.
The Palermo forward is currently on loan at Napoli and has scored in his opening two matches for the club and was expected to make a move to Naples a permanent one next summer but the Anfield manager hopes to persuade the powerfully built striker to move to Merseyside.
Cavani has been a big success since his move from Montevideo to Italy in 2007 and helped his country to a fourth place finish at this summer’s World Cup and his physicality and strength could well suit a move to the Premier League.
The 6ft 2in striker is also something of a flair player and is known for his superb close control and Hodgson may well see the £14m rated man as an ideal foil for Fernando Torres.
A potential move to Liverpool may well depend on how well Napoli fair this season after last season’s impressive top six finish.
