After struggling at Manchester United last season, the Colombian has not faired any better in London, his injury-plagued season cutting his game-time short with his last appearance in a Chelsea shirt back in October.
Despite this, and the fact that he has just scored once this entire campaign, Falcao says he received two offers from China, yet decided against a big-money move in order to try prove his worth in England.
"It is true that I had two different offers to move to China, but I stayed in England to give myself another opportunity," the 30-year-old told El Tiempo newspaper in Colombia.
"Going there would have been the easiest way out because it was a great offer, but I preferred to stay here and fight.
"I am focused on the club and just live in the present. Football changes very fast and what today can't happen, can tomorrow.”
Falcao is currently still on loan from French club AS Monaco, with Chelsea to decide whether or not he will stay at the Bridge at the end of April.
Yet the former Atletico Madrid and Porto frontman says he is not worried about his future.
"I'm not thinking about what might happen on April 29 [the date on which Chelsea must decide whether or not to pay Monaco a pre-agreed fee of £38m to sign the player on a permanent basis].,” he said.
"My job is to give my best and when the time comes to make decisions, we will analyse everything and see, because everything can change in football.
"Today I think about what Chelsea can do from now to May. I do not look beyond that. Me staying here will depend on many factors, it doesn't depend just on my decision.
"That's why I try to give my best in training to have a chance, but this will be discussed when we need to make a final decision."
Falcao’s Chelsea, who sit 10th in the English standings, take on in-form West Ham United in their next EPL clash on Saturday.
