With Chelsea’s poor start to the season, it is no wonder Mourinho is ready to cancel Falcao’s loan in January.

The 19-year-old has failed to hit the ground running at the Stamford Bridge club, scoring one goal in 11 appearances in all competitions.
Chelsea are weighing up the decision with the intention being to free up space in the squad for a new attacking arrival.
The Blues have targeted Javier Hernandez and Paco Alcacer, as noted by the aforementioned source, as possible replacements with Falcao’s time running out.
Falcao is believed to be open to the idea of leaving Chelsea as he wants to be playing regularly after a hard spell on loan at Manchester United last season where he was unable to make an impact resulting in United opting against making his loan stay permanent.
This is just another notch in an all-round bad season for Chelsea, who sit in 16th in the Premier League and are winless in five of their last six matches.

Despite being one of the most confident-shy clubs in the Premier League at the moment, Chelsea will be boosted by the return Radamel Falcao from injury, per reports. Should Chelsea go forward with the cut, Monaco would need to give its consent to terminate the contract.
