Chelsea hold Edinson Cavani talks

Chelsea have reportedly held discussions with Edinson Cavani's representatives over a move to Stamford Bridge.

The Napoli striker is believed to be a transfer target of numerous European clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Liverpool.

However, the Blues have stolen a march on their rivals by holding initial talks on Friday afternoon, according to The Sun on Sunday.

It is believed that Cavani's current Italian employers will demand at least £30m for his services.

The 25-year-old has scored 26 goals this season in all competitions.
