Against Walsall in the Capital One Cup, for example, Falcao looked rusty – perhaps as a result of a lack of minutes on the pitch – but despite that showing, the striker has opened his account for the Blues with a fine diving header in Chelsea’s 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace in September.

Just where the African playmaker would fit into the Chelsea side though remains to be seen, as the West London club bolstered their attacking midfield options with the signature of Pedro in the summer. “We won the last European trophy that Chelsea has won and got them into the Champions League“.
