Tottenham Hotspur looking to sign FC Porto star Hulk – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
English club Tottenham have reportedly made an offer of €39.6 million for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186’s star striker Hulk and are currently negotiating with the player’s representatives to seal the deal.
The Londoners have been blighted by the possible transfer of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 to Chelsea this summer and the saga has eclipsed any other gossip emerging out of White Hart Lane.
However, that is all going to change according to reports, as the club are now allegedly looking to sign the Brazilian Hulk from FC Porto.
The forward has been one of the most impressive players in the Portistas line-up in recent seasons and cemented his status as one of the best in the game after hauling his team to a quadruple in the last campaign.
Primarily playing as a second-striker behind Falcao, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 produced some of his most sublime football and proved his predatory instincts after finding the back of the net an incredible 36 times during the 2010/2011 season.
With a relatively young age of 25, the Selecao star is also yet to reach his peak and is already in contention for a berth in Mano Menezes’s national team squad.
During the summer, the attacker was linked with big-money moves to the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid and most notably Manchester City, but none of the sides chose to act on their interest.
The Citizens were touted as the ideal destination for Hulk, with their unmatched spending power and lofty ambitions to topple their iconic arch-rivals, Manchester United. However, a move did not materialize, as City secured the services of Sergio Aguero
and filled the remaining space in their team.
While it seemed that Hulk would now never be plying his trade in the English Premier League, Tottenham have stepped up their interest and are thought to have made a €39.6 million proposal for the highly-rated front man
Spurs are convinced that they can persuade Estadio do Dragao officials to part ways with their star asset at a reduced cost and have opened up talks with the player’s representatives for a possible transfer.
Although Tottenham have made a decent offer, it is unlikely that Porto will cave into their demands, as the Dragon’s evaluation of Hulk is a whopping €100 million, a figure which is undoubtedly out of reach for the London outfit.
