Radamel Falcao's father says the Atletico Madrid striker 'has always wanted' to play in the Premier League and is a big fan of Chelsea.

There have been reports in Colombia that Chelsea have already reached a pre-agreement to sign Falcao, but his father would not be drawn on the speculation. He added: "I don't want to talk about pre-agreements. "I spoke to Falcao yesterday. The release clause in his contract is about €55million (£43.5m) but Falcao doesn't want to talk figures."
