Edinson Cavani is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for his national team and for the ‘Ligue 1’ club ‘Paris Saint-Germain’ (PSG). Known as a “modern striker,” he usually plays at the center-forward position but is also known to play as a supporting striker and a winger. Born and raised in Salto, Uruguay, he got his first major career breakthrough in the 2007 ‘South American Youth Championship’ at the age of 20, which brought him on the forefront of emerging talent in Uruguayan football. In 2010, he signed a five-year contract with the Italian club ‘Napoli,’ and in the 2011–2012 season, he became the leading goal-scorer in his team’s ‘Coppa Italia’ victory. Edinson played magnificently for the Italian club and scored more than 100 goals in his first three seasons with them. In 2013, he was bought by the French club ‘PSG,’ and this became the most expensive deal in the history of the French football. Edinson won three ‘League 1 Championships,’ three ‘Coupes de France,’ and four ‘Coupes de la Ligue’ championships for his team. As part of the Uruguayan national squad, he helped his team win the 2011 ‘Copa América’ tournament.
