El Matador will be a threat at the Mundial: a world-class striker with a point to prove

El Matador (The Bullfighter) will alongside his partner-in-crime Luis Suarez lead the line for Uruguay in the World Cup and will be looking to firmly establish his world-class credentials.

Blessed with everything that a modern striker needs to be successful, Cavani will hope to be among the top scorers in the tournament.

With his all-action style of play coupled with an amazing ability to find space at the right time, Cavani will be one of the most feared strikers in the tourney.

With 38 goals in 98 appearances including being the joint highest goalscorer in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying history (21 goals), Cavani is up there with the very best and will prove a handful.
