This 6'2" powerhouse has the strength of a nightclub bouncer and balance and technique of a ballerina. He is the perfect striker, and City should sign him up immediately.
Cavani began his Serie A career playing out of position as an inside right for Palermo, where his physical qualities were not used to their full effect.
Since moving to Napoli, his career has exploded, and by playing as a traditional No. 9, he has scored 102 times in just three seasons.
He has modeled his style of play, and his haircut, on his idol, Gabriel Batistuta, and he is proving to be just as lethal as the Argentine in front of goal.
His pace and strength makes him impossible to defend against, and he can score from any angle and any distance. It is impossible to say a player will definitely be a success, but Cavani is as close to a sure thing as you'll get.
He would make a perfect addition to City's squad but is also just the kind of player Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid need right now. The competition to sign him has driven his price up, and it would take an astronomical fee to secure his signature.
It also must be a concern what a high staff turnover rate City have up front. At the beginning of the season, it seemed that the club had finally settled on their four strikers after a series of expensive mistakes in the transfer market.
After the sale of Mario Balotelli and the transfer rumours surrounding all their other forwards, it looks like the striking department is undergoing another process of renewal.
