Chelsea are set to launch an offer for Edinson Cavani.

Since losing Didier Drogba earlier this summer, Roberto Di Matteo has been on the lookout for a new striker to replace the Ivorian.

Hulk, the Porto star, has been heavily linked, but it is believed the Italian coach has made Uruguayan international Cavani his number one target.

Napoli face a fight to hold onto the 25-year-old after he scored 33 goals in 47 games last season, and Di Matteo is prepared to offer £35million to land him.
