With the arrival of Neymar and Mbappe to PSG, Cavani’s influence in the team will be enhanced as he might get a few more clear-cut opportunities in front of goal with better players provided him better chances.

Cavani finished just four goals off Ronaldo’s tally of 12 last season, despite PSG getting knocked out of the tournament by Barcelona in the quarter-final, after the most remarkable turnaround in football history.

Cavani has begun this campaign well, as he has scored three goals in two games for PSG, sitting just two goals behind the current leader Harry Kane in the standings. With PSG looking dangerous while attacking and solid at the back, Cavani has an outside chance to finish with most goals this season.
