The Uruguayan Edinson Cavani concluded as the top scorer in France Ligue 1 with 28 goals. But not only that, he ended the European season as the seventh best goalscorer with 41 in total.

Cavani is Neymar's teammate at PSG, and they formed a lethal attacking duo that terrified Europe before the Brazilian’s injury.

The Uruguayan ended as the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers top goalscorer with 10 goals in 15 games.

Cavani is a skillful forward who desires to lead his country to a great run in Russia after a second place ending in the South American qualification. He has scored 42 goals in 100 caps with Uruguay, including two international goals in 2018.

The Uruguayan has to be at his peak if Uruguay desires to win its third World Cup trophy.

Cavani missed just one game this season because of a hip problem in February that left him four days out of the team's training. That was the first injury the Uruguayan suffered since 2014, and he is fit enough to claim the Golden Boot in Russia.
