Zenit St. Petersburg’s Hulk may follow Jose Mourinho’s footsteps to Chelsea FC - Football News
Zenit St. Petersburg star striker, Hulk, has confirmed that he has different offers on the table ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. He admitted that there is also one offer from English Premier League club, Chelsea FC.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436, who has scored seven goals in 18 league appearances, is on international duty with the Brazilian national team, currently preparing for the Confederation Cup.
"If I said there wasn't anything in it, I would be lying. But that is not for now. At the moment, I am 100% focused on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 and I hope to be a Confederations Cup winner with my country. Other matters will have to wait until afterwards,”
the former Tokyo Verdy forward was quoted as saying.
Reports in Russian media suggest that Hulk, who joined the St. Petersburg club for a record breaking 60 million Euro transfer fee from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 last year, is on newly appointed Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho’s radar this summer.
Mourinho replaced Rafael Benitez at the London-based club after leaving Real Madrid for personal reasons. 'The Special One' returned to Stamford Bridge seven years after leaving http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 for Italian side, Inter Milan.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542 manager wants to sign the 26-year-old in order to strengthen the team’s overall attack. The Blues have already secured the signing of German international, Andre Schurrle, from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Portuguese tactician wants to inject fresh blood into the squad in order to increase competition for places given that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812 failed to impress last season.
Torres, who joined the English outfit for a whooping 50 million Euros from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC, managed to score eight goals in 36 league appearances in the league this season while Ba, who made a big move from Newcastle United this January,
bagged just two goals in 14 league appearances.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are heavily linked with Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko, Napoli’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s third place finish
on the league table last season.
