Lukaku Or Cavani? Who Should Chelsea Concentrate on?

Wouldn’t it be lovely if your football club had the choice between Romelu Lukaku and Edinson Cavani leading the line? Well, if you’re a Chelsea fan then that could very well be the case. The Mirror say that the latter is fed up with life at Paris Saint-Germain and is a target for the Blues, but they may have to sell the former to land the Uruguayan.

For me, I see it as a case of the west London club either wanting to build for the future or for instant success, and seeing how they have operated over the last 10 years and Jose Mourinho’s cautious approach to young players, I would expect the answer from the club to be instant success.

Cavani is his prime – The former Napoli man is now 26 and has smashed the 30 goal mark in his last three seasons, including a total of 38 in 43 last season and 19 in 27 this time out. He is a strong player who has proved himself to be one of the most impressive  finishers in Europe.

Lukaku, who grabbed 17 league goals while on loan at West Brom last season, is still growing and is settling into his own skin in the Premier League, but it won’t be long before he is one of the top players in the league, you get the feeling.

He is still just 20 and he has scored nine in his 18 games this season for Everton, but if you asked me which should be priority for the Blues, I would say Cavani.
