Falcao Could Provide Intriguing Attacking Option 

As Soccer Base noted, in 68 league appearances for Atletico, Falcao netted a staggering 52 goals. 

Unfortunately for the Colombian, since leaving Atletico, where he was the finest No. 9 in world football, his career has been on the slide.

After a big-money move to Monaco, Falcao picked up a serious knee injury that ruled him out of the 2014 World Cup. The following season, he joined Manchester United on loan, although he endured a torrid spell at Old Trafford, looking like a shadow of the incredible poacher he once was, with just four goals in the entire season.

At Chelsea, it’s been a similar story, having made just nine league appearances for the Blues and scoring a solitary goal. 

While it's clear Falcao isn't the player he once was, a change of scenery could possibly rejuvenate his career and lead to more scoring tallies.
