Porto star Radamel Falcao reveals his dream to play in the English Premier League – Report
Porto star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, has stated that it would be his dream to ply his trade in the English Premier League.
"There is a club that I dream to play for. They are foreign but I do not want to say who it is now. The Spanish league is good, but I prefer the Premier League as there is a better atmosphere on the field.” Falcao has been reported as saying.
The Columbian International has become one of the most revered strikers in European due to his prolificacy in front of goal. The highly-rated forward bagged an incredible 39 goals in 42 outings for the Portista, also managing to break the goalscoring record
in the UEFA Europa League last season. Despite his feats, he remains a humble presence.
"I never thought I would score so many goals. It has been a surprise for me and I have benefited from the quality that we have in our team. I have matured in every respect and I am qualified to play in any big league." He added.
Starting out as a youth player with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/River-Plate-c40368 in 2001. At Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, his career really took off as he managed to notch 49 goals in 109 appearances.
His talents attracted attention from major European clubs and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 were rumoured to be the frontrunners to sign him. The Dragons eventually landed their man in 2009 after fending off interest from arch-rivals Benfica.
At Estadio do Dragao, he struck a formidable partnership with his fellow attacker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Skills-c40539 and scored goals in abundance. Their efforts were rewarded with silverware, as Porto won the quadruple consisting
of the UEFA Champions League, Portuguese Primeira Liga, Portuguese Cup and Portuguese Super Cup last season.
However, much has changed since the win in Dublin and the man who masterminded their victories, Andre Villas-Boas, has departed for greener pastures of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
The ‘New Special One’ won all the competitions he entered with the Portuguese outfit but like his mentor, Jose Mourinho, he exited the club after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 came knocking. Ever since his move, the London giants have been linked with Falcao and it looks like
they might get their man.
The Blues are backed by Russian Billionaire, Roman Abramovich ,and his financial muscle is second to none. The Oligarch spent a hefty £50 million to lure the misfiring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 in January and is now keen on re-vamping his squad to mount a challenge
on Premier League title.
According to reports, Falcao himself is eager on a switch to Stamford Bridge and with the Londoners looking to entice Porto with a €30 million bid, a move is likely to materialize this summer.
