#5 Edinson Cavani (Uruguay, PSG)
The 32-year-old is one of the most feared strikers in the world and has been on fabulous form for PSG in recent years. Cavani has been crippled with injuries this season and has been forced to watch from the sidelines on more occasions that he would have like. Yet when he has been on the field, he has been extraordinary.
The Uruguayan is a center forward who is very strong and has the ability to hold the ball to bring his team mates into play. Cavani is very strong in the air and his passing ability is also quite good. However, if there's one thing that the Uruguayan is famous for, it's his finishing.
Cavani has already scored 17 goals from 16 games in Ligue 1 and has 22 goals from 27 games in all competitions this season. He has also registered 5 assists so far in the league and even though Cavani is currently sidelined with a muscle injury, he is still the 5th best South American footballer around right now.
