Falcao's father says the striker wants a move to the Premier League

Atletico Madrid striker Falcao wants to play in the Premier League in the near future, according to the player's father.

Falcao senior told the Daily Mail that there were three "interested" teams, namechecking Man City and Chelsea, as well as an unidentified Russian side.

"Falcao has always wanted to play in the Premier League and it is very likely," he added.

"Ever since he was a boy he has loved Chelsea and has always thought it would be an honour to play for a big Premier League team."

Falcao scored a hat-trick against Chelsea in the European Super Cup as the Blues fell to a 4-1 defeat.
