Striker Cavani Linked With Liverpool

Reports in Italy and Germany
have suggested that Liverpool
Football Club are preparing a
transfer bid of around €20m for
Uruguayan goal predator Edison
Cavani, aptly nicknamed El
Matador with a move that could
happen as soon as January to
add forward support to that of
Fernando Torres.
Although Liverpool seem to have
financial problems at the
moment it seems that the Anfield
manager, Roy Hodgson, has been
given some cash to invest in
more talent he feels would boost
the Kop outfit, having already
bought players such as Raul
Meireles and Milan Jovanovic.
The sale of ex Liverpool player
Javier Mascherano to Barcelona
will also have provided Hodgson
with a lump sum and it looks as
though the Kop boss will use it to
effect in providing some
firepower up front.
Cavani is currently playing his
football in Napoli, on loan from
Palermo, and his recent
performances for Napoli have
raised eyebrows on Merseyside.
He is a big six footer, strong,
powerful and could compliment
both Liverpool Skipper Steven
Gerrard and Torres up front.
With Liverpool only having picked
up five points from a possible
fifteen, Roy Hodgson sees the
need for more goals in the
Premiership and El Matador, it
seems, could be the answer.
