Napoli's prolific goal scorer Edinson Cavani believes the Premier League is best suited for his style of football.

The £50 million-rated Chelsea target has virtually served notice on Spanish football by revealing his ideal destination.

"I like English football a lot," Cavani said. "There are teams there that are very dynamic and strong."

The 24-year-old has scored 12 times in 16 appearances for Napoli this season, following on from an impressive haul of 32 goals during the previous campaign.

The Uruguay international has been consistently linked with Chelseas in recent months and has been touted as the successor to Didier Drogba by coach Andres Villas-Boas.

Napoli, though, have no intention of letting their prized asset leave on the cheap, and Chelsea would reportedly have to pay around £50 million to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

Cavani has revealed that the opportunity to play in England would certainly be an attractive proposition, although he is committed to Napoli.

"I also like Spanish football as there is more space which is ideal for my game. But my future is at Napoli, I have no doubt. The season is long and hard and I am just focused on Saturday's game with Lazio."
