CHELSEA TO LAND FALCAO ON LOAN

Chelsea is preparing a loan move for Monaco striker Radamel Falcao in January.

The Columbia international has been unsettled in France as he’s having issues with his salary after tax at Monaco.

According to reports from Spain, the former Atletico Madrid man is free for a loan move in January, and Chelsea are on the front line of interested employers.

The 27-year-old was intensively watched by Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho last month in Columbia victory over Belgium, and the Portuguese may well make an offer as he wishes to improve his front line due to the inconsistency of Fernando Torres, Samuel Etoo and Demba Ba. Other interested employers include Real Madrid and Manchester United.

Falcao has scored nine goals so far in forteen appearances for Monaco.
