Radamel Falcao's completed his move to Chelsea.

Chelsea have announced a season-long loan deal for former Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao.

The Colombian striker spent last season on loan at Old Trafford but Louis van Gaal turned down the chance to sign the 28-year-old on a permanent deal after he scored just four goals in 29 appearances.

The former Atletico Madrid striker will link-up with former team-mates Thibaut Courtois, Filipe Luis and Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge and he says he’s delighted with the move.

‘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,’ said Falcao.

The striker scored 72 goals in two seasons for FC Porto between 2009 and 2011, before joining Atletico Madrid.

After 70 goals in two prolific seasons with the Spanish side, Monaco signed him for £50m in 2013.
