The 26-year-old said he used to watch the English Premier League growing up and mentioned a few of his idols from his childhood.

"England? One day, I could go. It is a game I have watched for a long time and one day I would like to sample it," Falcao told The Times.

"I used to watch it on television when I was a kid. Players like Roy Keane, Eric Cantona, (Gianfranco) Zola. But the one I supported was (Faustino) Asprilla, when he was at Newcastle.

"I think I could adapt to England. I think I could score goals."

Falcao netted 24 times in 34 La Liga appearances for Atletico last season.
