Porto and Brazil star Hulk has spoken of his delight to have been linked with Champions League holders Chelsea and believes he will win major honours, should he make the switch to Stamford Bridge.
He’s been linked with a move to the Blues for sometime, especially when Andre Villas-Boas was first brought to west London and he’s been heavily tipped to join us despite the departure of the Portuguese manager, who he won the Europa League with when they worked together at Porto.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a host of top clubs around Europe and Villas-Boas’ new club Tottenham. But it would seem he’s keener on Chelsea than he is reuniting with his old boss, if his interview with FourFourTwo is anything to go by.
When asked about the rumours of him moving to Chelsea, the Brazilian forward replied:
“I am very happy. They are the European champions and the best club in Europe at the moment.
“For me, it is a huge achievement that they want me to play for them.
“I want to continue to win trophies. That is what I want to do if I join Chelsea.”
Now, although these quotes have only been published recently, I’ve heard that the interview itself was done in June which was before the talk of ‘Hulk to Chelsea’ died down. However, he’s obviously keen on joining the club and there’s a complication with third-party ownership, and this could take some time to resolve.
One of the reasons why talk went quiet is because he’s currently on international duty with Brazil at the Olympics and there won’t be much movement until he’s done there. Oscar was signed during the games, but had already had a medical with Chelsea and most of the deal was in place before the tournament began.
Hulk could be the perfect signing for Chelsea as he plays on the right wing and can play forward, which could be useful as we have no idea what Fernando Torres we’re going to see this season. The Brazilian has scored 76 goals in 166 games for Porto, who will be willing to play hard ball up until deadline day on this one.
David Luiz, Oscar, Ramires and Lucas Piazon are already at the club, will Hulk join our contingent of Brazilian players?

???? my own view chelsea need hulk well
We need him(hulk)
We dont need right back while we have Sam Hutchinsom,lets give that guy some chance to prove his self. If we still need to buy 2 more players pls buy Falcao or Cavani, Moses or Hulk,we dont need any defender our defence is ok with Sam Hutchinsom coming up as second RB to Ivanovic. Pls think about it carefuly. Chelsea or no club.
Gud talk men, we nid hulk bcos torres & sturridge ar nt reliable. Hulk will b a beta signing 4 chelsea bcos he av d strength,strong,fast,pace,& complete as a player.pls chelsea go faster to sign d incredible hulk b4 it wil b too late.
Hulk will b a great signing for us. We need a goal machine like Hulk in our squad so i will urged RDM to quickly capture the signing of Hulk in our squad.
Chelsea should try and get hulk and one Other right back pls let’s give piazon a chance and sam hutchinson up blues if we buy moses we waste the money
i jut want 2 greet al chelsea fans we tank GOD 4 d sucess of our last season i pray it we be so dis seasom amen. Wat i want 2 say is dat hulk we be a gud player 4 chelsea we need 2 get him bcos we did nt no wat d 50millon we do nxt season as u al no dat it is gud 2 be ready than nt pls let us do our best 2 get him tanks n bye 4 nw.
The main reason I think we should buy Hulk is because of his physique and aggression he will bring to our game. I think all the players we have been buying have been the small sized ones and I don’t think this will benefit when we play the likes of Stoke. Also, he offers us options on right wing and in attack, so that is like 2 in 1 player. So pls do buy.
Chelsea has been making good signing these season, but i want them to sign hulk to have a good front line with torres.
