Radamel Falcao “would do great things” if he were to join Milan, said fellow Colombian striker Faustino Asprilla.

There have been multiple reports of interest in the Monaco centre-forward, who could arrive in an exchange with Andre Silva.

“Falcao is a hitman. Everyone he played, he scored goals,” Asprilla told Tuttomercatoweb.

“If he were to join Milan, he would do great things there too. He’s a great player and an icon of Colombian football.”

Asprilla, now 48, spent much of the 1990s in Serie A with Parma.
