Chelsea will complete their first signing of the January transfer window on Friday with Edinson Cavani moving to West London on a short term deal. Since the transfer ban was halved, Chelsea have been seeking additions to their young squad to help them in their quest for a top four finish.
With Olivier Giroud set for a move out of Chelsea, Frank Lampard have identified the 32 year old Uraguayan as a stop gap for the goal scoring issues experienced by the blues this season.
Chelsea have created the 3rd most goal scoring chances this season but are languishing in 4th positon, 6 points behind 3rd placed Leicester and 5 points ahead of 5th place Manchester United.
The Cavani deal is close to completion with Frank Lampard revealing his love for the striker in his press conference before the Arsenal game: "He is a great player. I am not sure what the situation is though. He has experience, but many players are."
More substance was added to Cavani's move to England as PSG director, Leonardo revealed after the game on Sunday that the 32 year old have handed in a transfer request:
"We've always said the same thing. We were hoping he would stay with the club, but today he asked to leave. We're studying the situation
With Chelsea lacking firepower up front, Cavani would be a great addition and would welcome the opportunity to test himself at the world's most competitive league.
