The former Porto manager says that the Brazilian forward is explosive in his game play and would sit in well at Chelsea on the wing in the English Premier League...
The Chelsea manager who has been under pressure lately in the Premier League to get a good run of results for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 has now come out and stated that he might sign Hulk for Chelsea in the future as he is a big fan of the Brazilian
striker. Villas Boas managed Porto last season and led them to a league as well as the Europa League triumph with Hulk playing a massive role for the Portuguese giants in their run to the two trophies.
Villas Boas had built his Porto team around his two front-men http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 and Hulk but recently Porto suffered a big defeat at the hands of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium which ended their Europa League run as the Citizens
gained a comprehensive 4-0 win over Porto at their home stadium. Villas Boas was in the crowd to watch his previous club humiliated by the English Premier League leaders but he reserved his praise for Hulk in his latest interview. Villas Boas was invited to
watch the match by Porto’s club president http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pinto-c30032 da Costa.
 He said, "We have [Salomon] Kalou and [Florent] Malouda, both of whom are nearing the end of their contracts, while Juan Mata and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 are the future. As such, there will surely be a place to fill and I see room for
an explosive player on the wing, someone who is strong in one-on-one situations and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 fits that profile."
He added that both http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Pereira-c5297 and Joao Moutinho, the Portuguese starts of Porto who play in defence and midfield respectively might be welcome at Chelsea. He said, "They could surely play in the Premier League and at Chelsea.
I was very proud to be invited by Pinto da http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Costa-c9458 to sit next to him."
The Chelsea manager will hope that he can move for some of the players of choice in the summer transfer window after the season concludes in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at Stamford Bridge, something
that looks unlikely right now as Chelsea might not even qualify for the UEFA Champions League due to their lack of form in the Premier League.
