Colombian international striker Radamel Falcao has hinted that he might play in England in the future (The Times via Goal.com):

"

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.

"

Falcao, 26, scored 24 La Liga goals for Atletico Madrid last season. He joined Atletico from Porto in 2011 and has been linked with Manchester City and Chelsea.

Santos forward Neymar says Brazil international teammate Oscar wants him at Chelsea, according to The Sun.

Neymar is quoted as saying:

"

Oscar messages me to tell me what a great club Chelsea is and what a great city London is. He and Dani are both very good salesmen for their clubs. When the time is right I will listen to the right offers that my agent has for me.

It is very simple — if Barcelona are interested you listen, if Real Madrid are interested you listen, if Chelsea are interested you listen. There are maybe five clubs in the world that you know you must at least listen to.

"

Oscar, 21, joined Chelsea over the summer and reportedly has tried to convince Neymar to follow him to London. Neymar, 20, has been linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Brazilian defender Dani Alves reportedly lobbying Neymar to join Barca.
