Radamel Falcao's stay in Chelsea will be a short one.

According to a number of sources, the Colombia striker is not performing up to standards and his loan deal with Chelsea will end once the season is up.

This comes as no surprise as the former superstar is simply not doing the job in Stamford Bridge. He has appeared in seven Premier League matches to date (one as a starter) and has a grand total of one goal in 192 minutes. As of now he is on pace for five goals on the year if he appears in all 38 games for Chelsea; that would be one better than the four goals he scored for Manchester United across just 26 matches.

Falcao is only 29 and should be at his prime as a striker, but his knee injury in France a few years ago has seemingly cut down him career as a superstar. His statistics at Chelsea are the worst of his career in fact. His 76.9 percent passing accuracy is among his lowest totals. His 1.3 shots per game are the worst of his career in a domestic league. The superstar has won an average of 1.4 aerials per game throughout his career, but his move to England has seen that average drop below one per game. His 0.3 key passes per game are the worst of his career. The 0.3 dribbles per game are a career-low as well. He is averaging a grand total of 9.3 passes per game at Chelsea, also the worst showing of his career and a huge drop from the 20-plus passes per game he had while in Spain with Atletico Madrid. Obviously English and Spanish soccer differ when it comes to the frequency of passes, but it is rather disheartening to see that Falcao is barely getting over 10 touches per game for his team when on the pitch.

Part of that is his lack of mobility and a lack of explosiveness in front of goal. The other part of it has to do with the fact that the team around him is not particularly good at moment. However, Falcao used to be the kind of player that could lift a player on his own. Now he is a ghost whenever he steps on the pitch. A player getting a chance because of past glory and reputation.

He gets a chance to regain his confidence with Colombia, but if the Copa America is any indication, that ship has sailed. Falcao is a thing of the past for club and country.
