Cavani: 'Suarez is finding it tough at Barca'

Edinson Cavani thinks that Luis Suarez has struggled to adapt to life at Barcelona because the La Liga giants don't play with an out-and-out striker in their system.

Suarez moved to Barca last summer from Liverpool for £75m, after plundering 31 goals in the Premier League.

However, after returning from a four-month suspension for biting in October, the ex-Reds star has found goals hard to come by, scoring just four times.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Cavani, who is teammates with Suarez for Uruguay, told Marca Plus: "Luis now has a different role at Barca to the one he had at Liverpool.

"It can't be easy for him. It is difficult because he has a lot of movement and Barca are not used to playing with a pure number nine.

"With the talent that Luis has, though, I am sure he will give a lot to Barca. I think that if a team is used to playing in a certain way, you have to find the best way to adapt to the system."

Barcelona are currently second in La Liga.
