Joao Moutinho wishes to remain at FC Porto, unlike Chelsea bound Radamel Falcao and Hulk
Joao Moutinho, the 24-year-old FC Porto midfielder, revealed that while he was flattered by the rumours linking him to English Premier League giants Chelsea, he was unlikely to leave the Portuguese giants for a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
After the appointment of former FC Porto boss Andre Villas-Boas as the new Chelsea manager, a host of Porto players have been linked with the London side. Even though Villas-Boas has not yet identified his targets for the transfer window, some Porto players
are expected to end up at Chelsea.
Other players linked with a move to Stamford Bridge are striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 and winger Hulk. Falcao has gone as far as to claim he wishes to play in the English Premier League, where he felt he would get a chance at more challenging football.
Falcao said while speaking to reporters:
“There is a club that I dream to play for. They are foreign but I do not want to say who it is now. The Spanish league is good, but I prefer the Premier League as there is a better atmosphere on the field.”

Falcao had highly impressive statistics last season, finding the back of the net 39 times in 42 appearances in all competitions. Brazilian teammate Hulk is also keen on a move to the London side, after being linked with Chelsea.

where I will continue to work.”
