BAADA YA KUONDOKA MAN UTD, FALCAO ATUA CHELSEA
Chelsea have
signed Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan deal from Monaco, with
Blues youngster Mario Pasalic moving in the opposite direction as part
of the agreement.
The
Barclays Premier League champions have the option to buy the Colombian
striker at the end of next season if he impresses at Stamford Bridge.
The
forward recently endured a disastrous campaign at Manchester United,
notching just four goals in 26 league outings in an expensive loan
spell. He is currently on a five-month goal drought.

However,
he has been given a second shot at life in the Premier League with
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believing a loan deal to be worth the
risk.
'I
am very happy to be joining Chelsea and can't wait to start training
and help with our aim of retaining the league title and being successful
in Europe,' Falcao said.
The
29-year-old arrived at Old Trafford last summer as one of the most
feared strikers in Europe but a anterior crucicate ligament injury
suffered while playing for Monaco seemed to take its toll.
United
turned down the chance to sign Falcao on a permanent deal, or to extend
his loan, allowing Mourinho to step in to boost his strikeforce
following the departure of Didier Drogba.
