#1 Cavani is a workhorse suited to Atletico's playing style
Edinson Cavani is a very hardworking player on the pitch. He can make those runs in deep to pick the ball from the midfield to help the team buildup from the back and push numbers upfront in the attack. He’s not a selfish player and has his share of assists which is very much suited to a -twostriker system.
Cavani can score with both feet and is also strong in the air, besides being a decent set-piece taker. Simeone’s men are known to defend deep in numbers and they need a striker upfront who can run with the ball. The 32-year-old Uruguayan international fits the bill perfectly and should be a brilliant signing for Atletico Madrid should the Spanish giants manage to pull off the deal.
