If Cristiano Ronaldo is the Napoleon of goals, will it be logical to recommend that Edinson Cavani be the initiated as the Da Vinci of the art?

As far as goalscoring is concerned, The name Cavani is an industry unto itself. It was at Palermo that the Uruguayan cut his teeth in Italian football, but in the early 2010s, with Societa Sportiva Napoli under the tutelage of Walter Mazzarri, the energetic poacher earned the rights to be called a World Class centre-forward.

His 104 goals for the Partonepei were notched in over 100 appearances in a Napoli shirt, but while Cavani's razor-sharp excellence in the box helped the Azzurri secure Champions League qualification (ahead of 2011/12) and the coveted Coppa Italia trophy (2012), it was his appetite and application to create and score goals with unerring regularity, that makes his exalted status in Italian footballing community untouchable.

Alongside Ezequiel Lavezzi and Marek Hamsik, Cavani helped form one of the most lethal attacking tridents in modern Serie A, The Italian press dubbed them "The Three Attacking Tenors".

Yet, while Lavezzi and Hamsik have since slowed down, El Matador has continued his poaching adventure in Parc des Princes, even surpassing the immortal Zlatan Ibrahimovic as PSG's all-time leading scorer.
