10 best forwards in football this season

#7 Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain)

Paris Saint-Germain v Celtic FC - UEFA Champions League — Cavani has been absolutely lethal in front of goal this season

Nipping in ahead of his countryman Luis Suarez on this list, Edinson Cavani has been in blistering form for Paris Saint-Germain this season. Forming a fearsome trio along with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, the Uruguayan has arguably taken his game to new heights in this campaign.

Often maligned for missing plenty of extremely presentable chances, Edinson Cavani has been answering his haters by plundering goals left, right and centre. Ever since the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United, Cavani has thrived playing in the centre-forward position he covets and has scored an incredible 24 goals in 25 league games this season.

A quick, strong, opportunistic and prolific forward with good technique, the Uruguayan forward is known for his tireless work-rate and Unai Emery will be counting him on to deliver at the big stage.
