Édinson Roberto Cavani Gómez [1] (born 14 February 1987) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as a striker for Napoli and the Uruguayan national team. A very prolific goalscorer, Cavani is well known for ability to score impressive goals and his tireless work-rate.[2]
Club career
Palermo
After his breakthrough at the 2007 South American Youth Championship, several big teams were reportedly interested in signing Cavani, including Juventus and Milan.[3] On 29 January 2007, however, Palermo chairman Maurizio Zamparini announced the signing of the promising Uruguayan.[4] The bid was officially confirmed on 31 January[5] for €4.475 million.[6]
Cavani made his debut on 11 March 2007 in a home league match against Fiorentina,[7] coming on in the 55th minute with his team 0–1 down and scoring an impressive equaliser only 15 minutes later, a goal reminiscent of Marco van Basten's strike in the 1988 UEFA European Football Championship final.[8] In his second season with the Rosanero, Cavani found himself fighting for a first team place with Fabrizio Miccoli and Amauri.
After Amauri's departure to Juventus in June 2008, Cavani cemented his place in the starting lineup, forming a striking partnership with Fabrizio Miccoli and scoring a total 14 goals in the 2008–09 season. He retained his place for the 2009–10 season under new boss Walter Zenga, and also under successor Delio Rossi, being instrumental in the team's successful run in Serie A which took Palermo to European qualification and potential qualification to the UEFA Champions League with two games remaining. In April 2010, he penned a new contract with Palermo valid to June 2014.[9]
Napoli
2010–11
In July 2010, Cavani signed a reported five-year contract with Napoli.[citation needed] The transfer, however, was a loan of €5 million plus an option/obligation to buy outright for €12 million,[10][11] which made the total fee €17 million.[12] Cavani scored twice in his first start, as Napoli beat Elfsborg in the Europa League 2–0 and qualified for the main tournament. He then started his Napoli Serie A in spectacular fashion, scoring a controversial goal on Fiorentina after just seven minutes, with replays showing the ball hardly crossing the line. Cavani also scored on his home debut against Bari before adding a late winner against Sampdoria, meaning he had scored in his first four competitive matches with Napoli. On 26 September 2010, Cavani came on as a late replacement with 30 minutes left in a game against Cesena which Napoli were losing 1–0. After assisting the equalizing goal, he went on to score two more, with the final score 4–1. That meant Cavani shared the lead as top scorer in the league with Samuel Eto'o.[13] On 15 December 2010, Cavani netted a 92nd minute goal against Steaua Bucureşti to help his team to a 1–0 win and progress beyond the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. In the first match, which was held on Romanian soil, he had scored an equalizing goal in the 97th minute. On 9 January 2011, Cavani scored a hat-trick during a 3–0 win over Juventus, the third goal coming by way of a scorpion kick.[14] On 30 January, Cavani scored another hat-trick, this time in a 4–0 win over Sampdoria.[15] Cavani continued his fine form scoring a brace against Roma, with Napoli winning 2–0. On 20 March, Cavani scored another brace against Cagliari in a 2–1 win. This win kept them within three points of leaders Milan with eight games left. On 3 April, Cavani scored yet another hat-trick in a 4–3 comeback win over Lazio, having been 2–0 and 3–2 down during the game. He also became the highest league goalscorer in a single season in Napoli's history, netting 25 goals in Serie A.[16] On 26 May, in an away 2–1 loss against Lecce he received a red card for having two booked offenses. He sarcastically applauded the referee after the decision and was handed a two-match ban for the action.[17] As Napoli only had two more games of the season, it meant that his season was over and that he wouldn't be able to regain his top position in the Serie A scoring charts, as Antonio Di Natale had surpassed him with 26 goals.
Cavani signed a new five-year contract on 19 May, keeping him at Napoli until 2016.[18]
2011–12
On 14 September, Cavani scored the opener in Napoli's first game of their Champions League campaign, a 1–1 away draw at Manchester City.[19] Four days later, on 18 September, he scored a hat-trick against Milan in Napoli's 3–1 home win.[20][21] On 22 November, Cavani scored both goals in the match winning brace 2–1 at home against Manchester City in the Champions League, leaving Napoli in pole position to follow Bayern Munich into the knockout stage.[22] On 26 November, Cavani scored a 94th minute equaliser against Atalanta after Napoli went a goal down in the 64th minute through on-loan Napoli striker Germán Denis. On 21 December, Cavani netted a brace in Napoli's 6–1 thrashing of Genoa, helping the Azzurri finish 2011 strong and end the first half of the season in sixth place.[23]
On 17 February 2012, Cavani scored two goals against Fiorentina, helping Napoli go in fifth place ahead of Internazionale.[24] On 21 February, Cavani scored the second goal against Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16 first leg in Naples. He also provided the assists for both of Ezequiel Lavezzi's goals that game. Napoli subsequently went on to win this game 3–1.[25] Following Napoli's exit from the Champions League at the hands of Chelsea, Cavani scored two goals against Udinese in the last ten minutes to earn a much-needed draw to keep Napoli in the hunt for the last Champions League qualifying spot. A few days later, he converted a fantastic counter-attack against Siena to book Napoli a place in the Coppa Italia Final. On 21 April, he celebrated his 200th career league appearance by scoring in a 2–0 win against Novara.[26] Cavani finished the league season with 23 goals,[27] tied for third on the goal scoring charts with Udinese and Italy international striker Antonio Di Natale.[28] On 20 May, he scored a penalty against Juventus in the 2012 Coppa Italia Final, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which Napoli eventually won 2–0,[29] Cavani finished the tournament as the top goalscorer with five goals.[30]
2012–13
Cavani's first goal of the Serie A season came on 26 August, netting the final goal of Napoli's 3-0 defeat of former club Palermo.[31] A month later on 26 September, Cavani scored a mesmerizing hat-trick against Lazio, the final result was 3-0, to maintain Napoli's undefeated start to the Serie A season.[32]
On 8 November, Cavani scored all four goals, including a half volley from outside the box and a tremendous free kick, as Napoli came back from 2-1 down to defeat Dnipro 4-2 in the group stage of the Europa League.[33] Cavani scored a late penalty in the 94' minute to secure a 2-1 victory over AIK Solna on 22 November, sending Napoli through to the next round of the Europa League.[34] On 6 January 2013, Cavani netted a perfect hat-trick as Napoli thumped Roma 4-1, gaining ground in the race for the league title as champions Juventus fell to a shock win.[35]
Personal life
He is the younger brother of Beijing BIT striker Walter Guglielmone.[36] Cavani is married to Maria Soledad Cabris.[37] He is a devout Christian and a member of the Evangelical church.[38] Edinson is known for his keen love of darts, comic books, a habit he attributes to time spent in Sardinia with long time friend and ex-footballer Gianfranco Zola, a Sardinian native.

In January 2007, Cavani was selected to join the Uruguay national football team Under-20 squad to play in the 2007 South American Youth Championship in Paraguay. Cavani finished the tournament as top scorer with seven goals in nine games, helping Uruguay to finish in third place, earning them a place in the World Youth Championship.
On 6 February 2008, Cavani made his first senior appearance for the Uruguay national team, and immediately scored a goal in his debut with the Celeste, a 2–2 tie with Colombia. He scored an unbelievable strike from his own area on the counter attack from a corner and was praised by Andre Villas Boas as "... a player with an immense capacity for the technical ability of scoring goals of tremendous skill and magnificent tekker's" . He On 10 July 2010, he scored against Germany in the third place match in the 2010 FIFA World Cup making the game 1–1; Germany went on to win 3–2.[39] On 27 July, he played in a friendly match against Angola in Lisbon.
