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.

About the author

Well, I love football (a look at my body of work tells a better story). However, I also love other sports and from time to time, pen articles concerning basketball, tennis, boxing, and e-sports.

I follow these sports as much as I can, this explains why I write on a lot of different topics ranging from analysis and tactics to transfers and a whole lot more (reviews, previews and everything in between).

Real Madrid is the team closest to my heart (same goes for Rafa Nadal, Raul Gonzalez, Mike Tyson, Mortal Kombat and the San Antonio Spurs).
