Chelsea boss Villas-Boas gets serious about Napoli ace Cavani

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 07:22

Chelsea are intensifying their interest in Napoli striker Edinson Cavani.

The Daily Mai says the club have sent scouts to watch him on at least five occasions this season.

Andre Villas-Boas has been working on finding a potential long-term replacement for 33-year-old Didier Drogba.

Uruguay's Cavani is one of the hottest properties in European football after his goalscoring exploits in Serie A and the Champions League.

Representatives of the 6ft 2in striker have made enquiries to the Barclays Premier League's big clubs in recent weeks to gauge interest in a summer move.

Villas-Boas will have the chance to view Cavani's prowess next month when Chelsea take on Napoli in the Champions League knockout stage.
