Chelsea captain John Terry has labeled New teammate Radamel Falcao as a top player and believes he can be a success at Stamford Bridge.
The 29-year old forward recently signed a season long loan deal with the Champions after a frustrating period with Manchester United last season.
Despite hitting the back of the net four times in 29 appearances while on a temporary contract with the Red Devils last season, Terry believes the Colombian has still got it.
Literally after two minutes, he was backing in. He did the same to Gary Cahill. The movement as well was excellent. For me, him and Harry Kane were the best players I came up against [last season].
We had a little tussle on the floor 10 to 15 minutes later. He was up for it, was hungry and his movement and first touch were excellent,’ added the Blues defender. You get that feel as well. You can tell after a couple of minutes … it’s: I’ll give a bit and he’ll give a bit”.
I just thought he was up for it that day and Gary felt the same. We are delighted to have him here because he’s a top, top player.

Falcao could make his full debut for the Blues against Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday after Diego Costa struggles to knock of a hamstring injury he sustained in pre-season.
