Long gone are the days when Edinson Cavani was forced to live in the shadow of a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Since the mighty Swede's departure, PSG has been brilliant with the Uruguayan as their spearhead.

Speaking of the present, Cavani has been acting like a hungry lion in front of goal. He has found the net 23 times in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League and in just 20 appearances.

Adding a cherry on the cake, he is just three strikes away from equalling Ibrahimovic's 156-goal haul as the all-time top scorer of the Les Parisiens.

PSG may have splashed a world-record fee to sign Neymar, but the Uruguayan has certainly shown Unai Emery how important he is to the club. He has been the highest contributor to the club's 102 goals in just 31 games, scoring 23% of the grand total.

A squabble with Neymar gave birth to the rumours of his exit earlier this season. However, with Cavani enjoying the form of his life, the club must definitely be thinking otherwise.
