Radamel Falcao signs for Chelsea on loan from Monaco with Blues having permanent deal option on the Manchester United flop
Englis Premiere League side, Chelsea FC have announced the signing of Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan deal from Monaco, with Blues youngster, Mario Pasalic moving in the opposite direction as part of the agreement.
The English champions have the option to buy the Colombian striker at the end of next season if he impresses at Stamford Bridge. The forward who endured a disastrous campaign at Manchester United, notched just four goals in 26 league outings. He is currently on a 5-month goal drought.
However, he has been given a second shot at life in the Premier League with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believing a loan deal to be worth the risk. '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 said.
