Chelsea news: Blues favourites to land Edinson Cavani in wake of Neymar penalty debate

Alvaro Morata has proved a massive hit in the opening games of the season since his summer move from Real Madrid.

His early season form has helped ease the transfer saga surrounding Diego Costa who refused to return to the club during the summer before finally sealing a dream return to Atletico Madrid yesterday.

But Chelsea are understood to still be interested in bringing in another forward player to ease the pressure on Morata.

Antonio Conte was left fuming with Chelsea’s transfer business during the summer while their Premier League rivals spent big to bolster their squad.

But the Blues have been made favourites to make a sensational move in the January transfer window to sign Cavani from PSG.

The Uruguay international was involved in a very public bust-up with Neymar over penalty duties during this month’s 2-0 win over Lyon.

It has since been claimed Cavani snubbed an offer of £880,000 to allow his South American compatriot to take penalties for the Ligue 1 giants.

And the news led to bookies shortening the odds on Cavani leaving the Parc des Princes in the New Year.

PSG must balance the books after spending big in the summer transfer window on Neymar while also having a deal in place to make Kylian Mbappe’s loan deal permanent next summer.

And Paddy Power have made Chelsea 11-2 favourites with Real Madrid (15-2) also in the running for the 30-year-old.
