Falcao's Destiny

Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao admits he would welcome the opportunity to test himself in England at some stage.

The Colombia international continues to be heavily linked with a big-money move to Chelsea, with reports suggesting that a deal could be done in the January transfer window.

A prolific strike rate has brought Falcao to the attention of Europe's top clubs, with the 26-year-old having proven himself in South America, Portugal and Spain.

It is considered to be only a matter of time before he embarks on another new challenge, and Falcao admits a switch to the Premier League would appeal to him.

He told The Times: "England? One day, I could go.

"It is a game I have watched for a long time and one day I would like to sample it.

"I used to watch it on television when I was a kid. Players like Roy Keane, Eric Cantona, (Gianfranco) Zola. But the one I supported was (Faustino) Asprilla, when he was at Newcastle.

"I think I could adapt to England. I think I could score goals."

Realistically I don't think any club in England could afford him. You've got to be looking at anywhere between £40-60 million for him and that kind of outlay is going to come if the two clubs who could afford him, Chelsea and Man City, sold their best strikers, Torres and Aguero. I could imagine a trip to Inter Milan or maybe even Barcelona (at a stretch) if David Villa moves on, but his status in the world game and the way clubs are set up at the moment it doesn't seem like an obvious move is on the cards.

I can't see Inter or any other Italian club shelling out enough to bring him to the peninsula, assuming he'd even go with the likes of Chelsea and City offering god knows what in wages and signing on fees.

How does he fit in at Chelsea or Man City, who are both loaded with forwards. Players would need to leave first.

Chelsea sign Falcao,Atletico sign Torres.Problem solved.

I guess it's already time to write off Lukaku?

It's all speculation at this point, I don't see it.
