Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani eyes swoop for free agent Edinson Cavani

As reported by the Daily Mail, Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has claimed that the club could make a move for former PSG striker Edinson Cavani, after achieving promotion to the Premier League.

The 33-year-old Cavani is currently a free agent, after leaving the French champions upon the expiry of his contract. And now, the Whites could launch an attempt to lure him to England, according to Radrizzani. (h/t Daily Mail)

Edinson Cavani: Five things you need to know

  • Cavani is one of the most lethal marksmen in Europe, having tasted success with Palermo, Napoli and most recently PSG.
  • In 556 career appearances, the 33-year-old has 341 goals and 65 assists.
  • Having joined PSG in 2013, Cavani featured 301 times for the club, amassing a tally of 200 goals and 43 assists, before his contract expired. He is the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.
  • During his time in France, the striker won 6 Ligue 1 titles, 5 French League Cups and 4 French Cups.
  • Cavani has scored 50 goals in 116 appearances for the Uruguayan national team.

Leeds United have sealed promotion to the Premier League after a 16-year wait. And it seems like planning for the big return to the top-flight is already afoot, with Radrizzani hinting at strengthening the attack. (h/t Daily Mail)

“In addition to his quality, Cavani could contribute with his physicality and adapt here, but I’ve never talked about him with the coach [Marcelo Bielsa]. Having said that, we’ve certainly thought about him and we’ll see, given he’s still available on a free transfer.”

Lofty ambitions indeed from the Leeds’ owner. But if they manage to pull it off in the summer, it will be nothing short of a huge coup.
