Chelsea Transfers: 5 Strikers Jose Mourinho Must Sign Now Neymar Is Unavailable

1. Radamel Falcao

Radaeml Falcao Atletico Madrid's in-demand Colombian forward Radamel Falcao has been the number one transfer target this summer for both Chelsea and Manchester City - two of only a few clubs in world football who could realistically afford the £54 million it would take to pluck him from La Liga. His eye-watering buy-out-clause has made him a transfer target for only Europe's richest clubs but his ferocious goal haul over the last few seasons has seen him admired by most of them. The South American banged in 34 goals in 40 overall games for Atletico this season and also netted 28 times in La Liga competition to give the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona a real run for their money in the league standings. Atletico have supplied a number of high profile world class forwards to Premier League clubs over the years. Fernando Torres, Diego Forlan and Sergio Aguero are just a few who have swapped Madrid for Manchester and Merseyside in recent times - perhaps Falcao could become the latest Atletico star to ply his trade in England. Who do you think Jose Mourinho will bring with him to Stamford Bridge this summer? Let us know in the comment section, below.
