Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has given a strong indication that Radamel Falcao could be on his way to Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho has vowed to help the Colombian "reach his level again" after he scored just four goals in his season-long loan at Manchester United.
Falcao has been open about his desire to remain in the Premier League and Sky sources understand that talks are already underway with the Premier League champions about the possibility on another loan from Monaco.
Manchester United opted not to take up the option to sign the striker on a permanent basis but with at least one new striker on the summer wanted list at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho has hinted that he would relish the chance to bring the player to London.
"If I can help Falcao reach his level again, I will do it," Mourinho told DirecTV Sports.
"It hurts me that people in England think that the real Falcao is the one we saw at Manchester United."
Mourinho also dismissed reports that Juan Cuadrado will leave Chelsea after just six months, saying: "Cuadrado is not going anywhere this summer."
The winger started just four Premier League matches after joining from Fiorentina in January and there was speculation that he could leave Stamford Bridge with Inter Milan and Roma linked with the player.
But Mourinho said: "People don't know Cuadrado yet, I have seen him many times when we were both in Italy, me at Inter and him at Udinese."
"Because of that I have a lot of hopes for him for next season. I hope in the Copa America he can regain his self-esteem, his ego and that he has that joy of playing."
