Check in to Transfer Window: Done Deal Alerts

The agent of Zenit St Petersburg striker Hulk has hinted that his client could be on the move this summer with some of Europe’s top clubs monitoring his situation, according to talkSPORT.

Chelsea, Paris Saint Germain and Monaco are all reportedly keen on taking the big striker away from Russia and could be tempted to make moves this summer after he admitted that he is not happy at Zenit just one year after joining in a big money move from Porto.

Hulk is currently away on Confederations Cup duty with Brazil but has so far not commented on the latest round of speculation, however, his agent, Jose Caldeira, has confessed that a move may go ahead this summer after new Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admitted that he is a fan of the player.

“At the moment we cannot announce anything,” Caldeira told Eurosport. “The player is focused on the tournament and there will not be anything official during this period. France is a possibility but there are others.”

The 26-year-old has failed to settle in St Petersburg having bagged just 11 goals 30 appearances and has been the target of racist abuse by a section of the club’s fans. In September last year a bomb turned up at the club’s training ground with a picture of the player attached to it.
