Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao has played down talk linking him with moves to Manchester City and Chelsea.

The Premier League duo were eyeing moves for the prolific forward this summer, according to reports.

Falcao has caught the attention of talent scouts after netting 26 goals in 37 games for Atletico since his arrival from Porto.

However, the Colombian is cool over the transfer speculation and insists he is happy to stay at the Vicente Calderon.

He said: "The press said that Manchester City and Chelsea want me, but I am calm about this.

"I know La Liga is watched all across the world and it is normal that if I do good work many clubs watch me.

"But I insist now I am only focused on obtaining success with Atletico."

Falcao admits he is happy with his decision to join Atletico despite interest from a host of clubs.

He said: "My move to Atletico was a personal choice and I am satisfied because Liga is the best in the world."
