Chelsea are reportedly on the cusp of signing Monaco striker Radamel Falcao, according to reports.

The Blues have been in negotiations to sign Falcao for the last few days after Manchester United decided against making his loan move permanent.

Chelsea are looking for a top striker to compliment Diego Costa for next season, and now Spanish reports say a deal is close to be finalised.

It’s claimed an announcement could be made in the coming days, with Chelsea believed to be keen on a £25m permanent deal instead of another loan.


Liverpool have also been keen on Falcao, but he favours playing in London.
