Radamel Falcao ‘very happy’ after sealing Chelsea move on one-year loan deal



Chelsea have signed Colombia striker Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan from Monaco, the Premier League champions said on Friday.

The 29-year-old former Atletico Madrid standout spent last season on loan at Manchester United, scoring four goals in 29 games.

“I am very happy to be joining Chelsea and can’t wait to start training and help with our aim of retaining the league title and being successful in Europe,” Falcao told the Chelsea website.

Falcao previously played for River Plate in Argentina and Porto of Portugal.
