OFFICIAL: Falcao extends Monaco contract until 2020

A return to his best form as Leonardo Jardim's men won the 2016-17 Ligue 1 title has resulted in the striker being awarded a new three-year deal

Radamel Falcao has been rewarded for firing Monaco to the Ligue 1 title with a new contract until 2020.

Falcao began this season with a bruised reputation after a pair of chastening Premier League seasons on loan at Manchester United and Chelsea, but he has been back to his sharp-shooting best with 21 goals in 29 league games helping Monaco to their first top-flight title since 2000.

The Colombia star was also prolific in the Champions League, scoring seven times as the principality club shocked Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund to reach the semi-finals.
