Chelsea centre-back Gary Cahill believes that new signing Radamel Falcao will regain his goalscoring touch at Stamford Bridge.

The Colombian failed to live up to his billing with Manchester United last season and many eyebrows were raised after Chelsea announced they would be signing the 29-year-old on a season-long loan from Monaco.

But Cahill is certain that 'El Tigre's' goal scoring instincts will soon be back and will help to fire Chelsea to another Premier League title.

Cahill told Sky Sports News: "He is a top player. He is experienced and he has proved it.

"Last year I'm sure he'd say it didn't go as well as he would have liked or would have planned. You don't turn into a poor player overnight. He has done it at the top level and he is a top player."

Cahill also feels that the Colombian will be able to fit in at Chelsea easily saying: "...this is an easy group to come into. We welcome everyone with open arms.

"The calibre of player is normally top drawer and he fits into that bracket. Hopefully he can hit the ground running for us and score lots of goals."
