Chelsea appears to be in close touch with the signature of the former Porto man after a long term target according to source. But it is yet unclear as to whether the signature would be in preference to Fernando Torres or for the prolific striker to be as a possible striker partner for the Spaniard. Falcao had netted 36 goals in his first season at the Vicente Calderon and his 13 goals in nine matches thus far this term have helped Diego Simeone's side to a Super Cup Final triumph, over Chelsea, as well as mounting a genuine La Liga title challenge.
Roberto Di Matteo has struck steadfastly to Torres as the focal point of the Chelsea attack and whilst the former Liverpool man has made some improvement this season with a total of seven goals in 18 starts is by no means prolific. The likes of Romelu Lukaku, loaned out to West Brom and Daniel Sturridge, yet to start a Premier League match this season, do not appear to be viable alternatives for the Blues boss. Till January, we see Falcao at Stamford Bridge.
