Radamel Falcao has reportedly been given a January escape route from Chelsea

Radamel Falcao appears to be edging towards the Chelsea exit - if rumours are to be believed.

Since arriving in England with Manchester United, the Colombian has fallen well short of the world-class finisher he became known as during his spells with Porto and Atletico Madrid. A move to Stamford Bridge has failed to rejuvenate Falcao as Chelsea have endured a horrendous start to the season. It's now being suggested that Falcao could now be on his way, with reports claiming that he a move back to Spain could be on the cards as soon as January. The Mirror claim that Valencia have already sounded out Falcao's representatives over the possibility of a move, and have the cash to make the deal happen. Furthermore, other reports have claimed that Chelsea have already earmarked a replacement for him in Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann. The Sun believe that the French international, linked to a move to Manchester United in the past, could move to London for £40m.
