“He (Cavani) has been playing in Europe for so many years with competition – PSG, Napoli and also the national team. He likes competition.”
Cavani turned 34 in February but Forlan, who won the World Cup Golden Ball for being named the best player at the 2010 tournament in South Africa, has not been surprised by his fellow Uruguayan’s success in England.
