Falcao, Chelsea 'agree' terms

Cape Town - Radamel Falcao's loan move to Chelsea is expected to be completed later this week, according to reports.

The Colombian striker has agreed to a massive pay cut in order to join Chelsea, according to the Evening Standard.

Colombia's Copa America run was holding up the deal but "El Tigre" is expected to be confirmed a Chelsea player after accepting Chelsea's £130,000-a-week offer.

Falcao was ineffective during his time at Manchester United last season, scoring just four goals but Chelsea managerJose Mourinho has vowed to show the Premier League who Radamel Falcao really is.

Juan Cuadrado also confirmed that Falcao was already a teammate with the player himself hinting at a done deal during Copa America.

Falcao is expected to join the Blues in Montreal on July 19 for the pre-season tour of North America.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
