Colombia's Radamel Falcao hints at Chelsea move, future decided 'soon'

Monaco and Colombia striker Radamel Falcao speaks on his rumoured move to Chelsea.

Radamel Falcao has hinted that his future will be settled shortly, with a season-long loan move from Monaco to Chelsea set to be completed before the end of the Copa America.

Falcao, 29, scored just four goals in 26 Premier League appearances during a loan spell at Manchester United last season and was the subject of widespread criticism for his performances in England.

However, the Colombian striker has said he wants to continue his career in the Premier League and revealed that his future may lie at Stamford Bridge for the 2015-16 season.

"I'm just thinking of the Copa America and the squad, my staff are taking care of this," he told reporters after the 1-0 win over Brazil on Wednesday. However, when pressed further on his links to Chelsea, he added: "It can be, you will know soon."

Chelsea are looking to bolster their strikeforce -- with Didier Drogba having left the club and injury doubts over Diego Costa and Loic Remy -- and the club's Brazilian players were also asked about the possible arrival of Falcao after the game.

Defender Felipe Luis said: "I played with Radamel Falcao at Atletico [Madrid] and he is a great player. I'm not sure if it's official but I'm sure that he would be very welcome and it would help Chelsea a lot to win trophies."

While midfielder Willian added: "Falcao is a great player a striker that knows how to score and I'm sure it will help up a lot; I hope he can be happy at Chelsea."
