Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning are pushing to sign Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao.

The London Evening Standard says Falcao has scored just once since joining on a season's loan from Monaco last summer, with a thigh injury keeping him out of the side since October.

Chelsea hope to end the loan early and Jiangsu Suning are keen to do a deal before the transfer window closes in China on February 26.

Monaco are happy for the striker to move on loan again — as long as Jiangsu pay his wages. He earns about £135,000 a week but that is not a problem for the wealthy Chinese club, who may even try to buy him outright.
