Radamel Falcao is heading to Chelsea this summer after Jose Mourinho vowed to get the former Manchester United flop ‘firing again’.
Mourinho reportedly told a South American TV station that he will throw the Colombia striker a Premier League lifeline and sign him from Monaco.
It is understood the champions will bring the 29-year-old in on a season-long loan to replace departing legend Didier Drogba as they bolster their attacking options.

FALCAO FLOUNDERS AT UNITED
Falcao arrived at Manchester United with a record as one Europe’s most feared strikers, but struggled to find form at Old Trafford:
Premier League appearances: 26
Goals: 4
Falcao endured a nightmare spell at Old Trafford last season, where he failed to settle in Louis van Gaal’s side scoring only four times in 26 appearances.
United passed on an option to make his short-term agreement into a permanent £50million transfer, paving the way for Mourinho to make a move.
And the Blues boss believes Falcao will prove his doubters wrong and become a success story in west London alongside the likes of Diego Costa and Eden Hazard.
‘If I can help Falcao reach his level again, I will do it,’ Mourinho was claimed to have said on DirecTV Sports on Wednesday. ‘It hurts me that people in England think that the real Falcao is the one we saw at Manchester United.’
Falcao is away in Chile with Colombia for the Copa America which starts on Friday and is future is set to be resolved by next month at the latest.

Mourinho, meanwhile, also played down talk that Falcao’s Colombian team-mate Juan Cuadrado could leave this summer after less than six months at Stamford Bridge.
Cuadrado struggled to make a great impact following his £27million move from Fiorentina. But Mourinho reportedly confirmed: ‘Cuadrado is not going anywhere this summer’
