Chelsea have announced the signing of Radamel Falcao on a one year loan deal from Monaco.
The Colombian joined Manchester United on a similar deal last season, but his spell as Old Trafford was a disappointing one, only scoring four goals in 29 games.
Speaking to Chelsea's website the striker said; '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.'
