Chelsea are near agreement on a loan deal that would bring in Radamel Falcao from French club Monaco for the 2015-16 Premier League season, according to reports.
Jose Mourinho has made no secret of his desire to sign Falcao, despite the Colombia international contributing just four goals in 26 Premier League appearances during a loan spell at Manchester United last season.
Portugal-based Record and London's Sunday Times reported at the weekend that the 29-year-old had agreed to move to Stamford Bridge, but the latter said that the two clubs had yet to determine whether the transfer would be temporary or permanent.
