Chelsea Football Club of England, yesterday, agreed a season-long loan deal with Monaco for Radamel Falcao, according to Sky sources.
Falcao spent last season on loan at Manchester United but boss Louis van Gaal opted against making the move permanent after he scored just four goals in 26 Premier League appearances.
The 29-year-old Colombian striker was keen to remain in the Premier League and Sky Sports reported last week that Chelsea was in talks to sign him following the release of Didier Drogba.
Blues manager Jose Mourinho spoke publicly about the discussions, stating his desire to help Falcao “reach his level again”.
He said: “It hurts me that people in England think that the real Falcao is the one we saw at Manchester United.
“He played in Spain and Portugal and I know him very well because I was in Portugal and Spain. In Spain we were together when he was at Atletico and I was at Real and I know him very, very well… he is a great player.”
