Colombian striker, Radamel Falcao has returned to the English Premier League but this time, teamed up with former Atletico Madrid player, Diego Costa at Chelsea.
The Monaco forward, who spent last season on-loan at Manchester United, completed another loan move to the Stamford Bridge, with the option to make the deal permanent.
Falcao scored just four goals for United last season in 29 appearances for the Old Trafford side, and he will now link up with Thibaut Courtois, Filipe Luis and Diego Costa, whom he played along with at the Vincent de Caldron before switching to French Ligue 1.
Croatian midfielder Mario Pasalic, 20, goes the other way on loan for the season.
"I am very happy to be joining Chelsea and can't wait to start training," Falcao said.
The striker scored 72 goals in two seasons for FC Porto between 2009 and 2011, before joining Atletico Madrid.
After 70 goals in two prolific seasons with the Spanish side, Monaco signed him for £50m in 2013.
He suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in January 2014 and joined United on loan that summer but had a disappointing time at Old Trafford.
Falcao and Costa have previously played up front together for Atletico and won the 2013 Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid. BBC
