Hulk reveals Chelsea interest for him

Hulk has said that Chelsea want to sign him from Zenit St Petersburg. The Brazil forward, a long-standing target for the club, was asked on Thursday about interest from the Premier League team.

"If I said there wasn't anything in it, I would be lying," he said. "But that is not for now. At the moment, I am 100% focused on Brazil and I hope to be a Confederations Cup winner with my country. Other matters will have to wait until afterwards."

Hulk came close to joining Chelsea last summer from Porto before his move to Zenit. The 26-year-old can play in wide areas or as a central striker.

The Confederations Cup, which is being hosted by Brazil, runs from 15-30 June.
