Radamel Falcao is settling down to his first week of training at new club Chelsea and he has taken to Twitter to share an update.

The Colombian striker will be looking to rediscover his best form at Stamford Bridge after struggling at Manchester United, where he found the net just four times.

A series of knee injuries has dulled the explosiveness of a striker once feared throughout Europe when at Atletico Madrid. However Jose Mourinho recently confirmed that his new club have no concerns over his fitness, and Falcao will set about to proving his manager right in the weeks ahead.

Gary Cahill has also backed Chelsea’s new forward, saying earlier this week that when he played against his new club in 2012 he was “fantastic”.

Falcao linked up with his new team today and tweeted images of his training session, saying he was "happy to join the team and start working with my new teammates".

Moving to Chelsea will also give the 29-year-old an opportunity to link up with several of his former colleagues. From the Colombian national team he will be joined by Juan Cuadrado whilst ex-Atletico team-mates Thibaut Courtois and Diego Costa will also welcome him.
