Striker has been told to join the MLS

Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao has been urged by his national coach to quit the Premier League club and secure a move to the MLS.

The Colombian international secured a loan switch to Stamford Bridge in the summer, but has failed to shine at the club and has been sitting on the injury table for the past several weeks.

Falcao was heavily linked with a move away in January, but due to his fitness problems, he couldn’t complete a medical, meaning he was stuck in West London.

The 30-year-old has just one goal to his name for Chelsea, and scored just three more than that last season when on loan at Manchester United, and his Colombian head-coach has urged him to leave England altogether and join the MLS in order to refind his best form.

Jose Pekerman has urged him to join the American league as he believes it will be best for his international career, which would be damaged should he choose to stay at Chelsea or move to China.

“Each one is free to choose what they want for their future, but for the national team it’s an inconvenience [to play in China] because of the long distances of travel,” Pekerman said.

“Not because of their quality, because they can train and compete well anywhere they are, but because trips will be longer and they’d have less days to recover. It’s a difficulty.”
Nestor Lorenzo, who is the assistant coach, also believes Falcao needs a move in order to find some confidence on the football field again.
“I didn’t know about Columbus’ interest, but a lot of teams want Falcao, and hopefully he starts playing again soon,” he said.

“He’s soon to recover from his latest injury and might come back with Chelsea any time. But wherever it is, it’s important that he gains his confidence and playing time back.”
