Fernando Torres says that he does not fear Radamel Falcao after the Atletico Madrid striker was linked with a move to Chelsea.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has insisted that he would welcome the arrival of Radamel Falcao at Stamford Bridge.

The Colombian forward has long been linked with the Blues as the replacement to the misfiring Spaniard after enjoying scintillating form since joining Atletico Madrid from Porto in the summer of 2011.

However, Torres is adamant that he would not fear competing with Falcao for a place in Chelsea's starting lineup.

"Since I came we have only signed top players, so it would not be a surprise if we signed Falcao," Torres told ESPN.

"When you play for Chelsea, you're always hoping big players come and the big names are always being linked with the club. You cannot stop that. Every player is welcome at Chelsea, every top player.

"For me, I know I want to stay. If they change their minds it's a different question, but the relationship between me and the club is very straight. It's not a problem at all."

Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool for £50m in January 2011.
