The development of the player roles of Neymar and Mbappe in the last 2 seasons has definitely reduced the importance of Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani at Paris Saint-Germain, and what is more important is that the player is aware of the same.

The 32 year old might be ageing, but is exactly the kind of a striker Chelsea need at the moment, and even if he serves the club for 2 years, he has proven in his career that he can be worth it.

What is really interesting piece of trivia, is that due to the presence of Neymar and Mbappe, and the injuries Cavani has faced this season, the striker has only played 27 games for the club this season in all competitions, but has 22 goals and 8 assists in that little game time he has received.

These statistics at the age of 32 might just raise the eyebrows of any Chelsea fan.

Cavani might just play a Diego Costa of 2014 if Chelsea actually are to win the Premier League the next season.
