Edinson Cavani is the man Chelsea want to replace Didier Drogba.

The Blues lost their Ivorian talisman at the end of last season when his contract expired, and they are yet to find a suitable replacement.

As much as Roberto Di Matteo is willing to show faith in Fernando Torres, he also accepts he needs additional options to the Spaniard.

It is believed the Italian coach has set his sights on a deal for Napoli ace Cavani, who he is prepared to pay as much as £35million to land this month.
