LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea have signed Colombia striker Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan from Monaco, the Premier League champions said on Friday. The 29-year-old spent last season on loan at Manchester United, scoring four goals in 29 games.

Falcao previously played for River Plate, Porto and Atletico Madrid.
