Hulk is being lined up to be Jose Mourinho’s first major signing since returning to the Chelsea from Real Madrid this summer, according to The Mirror.
Mourinho reportedly admires the versatility of the 26-year-old as he can play through the middle or on the left of the attack.
Hulk, who has earned 21 caps and scored seven goals for the Seleção,is being touted as a possible replacement for misfiring striker Fernando Torres by the media.
Zenith Petersburg are also said to be ready to cut their losses on the Brazil international after paying a reported £40 million for him only last summer. Hulk has faced a difficult first season at Zenit with many fans booing him, alleged racist chants, a reported bust up with coach, Luciano Spalletti and his high wages supposedly causing dressing room friction.
Chelsea were thought to have tried to sign Hulk last summer from previous club Porto, but a move never materialised before Hulk's transfer to Russia.
Hulk has not lived up to expectation in the Russian league so I don't know why we should be after him but If "The Special One" wants him...
What do you think? Will Hulk come good for Chelsea?
