3 reasons why Atletico Madrid should sign Edinson Cavani

#2 Will give tactical versatility

Diego Simeone can be more flexible with his tactics if Cavani signs for Atletico

Cavani can play as a striker or even out on the wings if required. He can play on both flanks and it can help Simeone field a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-1-1 formation if required. Cavani is quick, strong, opportunistic with brilliant technique, and this makes him a complete forward. Cavani’s ability to play in the flanks can also help Simeone tweak changes within a game when his plan A is not working out.

Thomas Lemar and Vitolo have yielded very little upfront and Cavani can be a choice for a starter in the wings, and it also might reduce Atletico Madrid's troubles in the attack. Cavani’s physicality can be a dangerous weapon as opposition full-backs will have to be wary of his pace and ability to run away with the ball in one-on-one situations. Also, at the end of the day, Cavani fits in perfectly in Atletico’s usual two-striker system, which is an added bonus.
