Chelsea and Man City target claims he's happy at Atletico Madrid

Radamel Falcao has dashed Chelsea and Manchester City's hopes of signing him in January by claiming that he is happy at Atletico Madrid.

The £40m-rated star has been in sensational form this season, scoring 16 goals in 14 league games - including five against Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday night.

That has led to intense speculation that the two English giants, along with Real Madrid, will make a bid for the Colombian next month.

But the 26-year-old insists he is happy in the Spanish capital and wants to continue to make history with Atletico.

"I am enjoying myself here," Falcao told AS. "I have a three-year contract with Atletico.

"I dreamed of doing this, but I didn't know if I could. It has exceeded my expectations.

"I'm very comfortable here. It also helps a lot that we speak the same language. The Spanish, like Latinos, are very happy and I am grateful I can live here."
