Premier League champion Chelsea has signed Monaco striker Radamel Falcao for a one -year long season deal, with the probability that the deal may be made permanent.
The Colombian international, who spent his last season on loan at Manchester United, scored only four goals in the 29 games that he played.
Delighted with the deal, Falcao said that he was very happy to join Chelsea, adding that he could not wait to start training to help the team in their aim of retaining the league title, the BBC reported.
The striker had scored 72 goals in the two seasons that he played for FC Porto between 2009 and 2011, before joining Atletico Madrid.
Monaco signed him for 50 million pounds in 2013 after having prolific seasons with the Spanish side.
Falcao and Costa have previously played up front together for Atletico and won the 2013 Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid.
