Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will be reasonably satisfied with his Premier League title but you do get the sense that he is building for the long term in his second stint as Blues manager.
And this will require a better front line than he currently possesses. He’s got great width with Hazard and Willian but he needs another couple of really top class forwards to help Costa and co up top.
After agreeing deals for Atletico Paranaense youngster Nathan and Cristian Manea from Viitorul Constanta, another import is making his way to the club.
Radamel Falcao used to be one of the best players in the world and, at 29, there is no reason to think that Chelsea can’t be his football saviour.
Talksport reports that a deal is apparently done for the Colombian to move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Chelsea have struck a deal with Monaco for the loan signing of Radamel Falcao, according to reports in France.
..according to L’Equipe, Chelsea have agreed terms with Monaco and will take Falcao on loan for the season.
What can we say about his chances at Chelsea? Well, he will have less competition in terms of numbers but more in terms of form. Diego Costa played out of his skin last season and will be hard to displace. But The Spaniard’s injury record suggests that there will be opportunities for Falcao and The Colombian should be far more clued up and fit after his first year in England.
Pace is so important in the modern game and Falcao has lost some of his due to injury. But, at 29, he’s not far from top form and could explode for Chelsea next season.
Chelsea fans: a great deal for the club?
