New Blues boss eyes £26m-rated Arsenal target

Andre Villas-Boas, who is widely expected to take over at Chelsea after quitting his job as Porto manager, will target striker Radamel Falcao as his first signing.

Falcao, who has also been linked to Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Arsenal, scored the winner for Porto in the UEFA Cup Final against Braga which sealed an impressive treble for Villas-Boas.

According to the Daily Mail, Villas-Boas will approach his former club for the servives of Falcao and may have to pay anything around £26m to get the forward to Chelsea.

Villas-Boas himself is believed to have paid the £13.2m release clause in his Porto contract in order to be free to join Chelsea.
