Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho may well have given the game away over where Radamel Falcao’s future lies after dropping a pretty huge hint that the Colombian will be on his way to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea Transfer Gossip
Speaking with Latin American TV station DirecTV Sports, Mourinho was posed a question about the 29-year-old, and virtually confirmed that the pair will be working together next season.
Falcao spent the previous campaign on loan with Manchester United, where he struggled for form and game time, ending the season with just four goals to his name across all competitions.
The former Atletico Madrid hit man is known to be keen on an extended stay in the Premier League, and had initially been hoping to wrap up a move to Chelsea before the Copa America kicks off this month.
But after his stint on TV this week, there is now little question that Falcao will be west London bound after Mourinho said: “If I can help Falcao reach his level again, I will do it!
“It hurts me that people in England think that the real Falcao is the one we saw at Manchester United.”
