Brazil's Hulk claims truth in Chelsea £35million bid reports

Brazil striker Hulk has admitted there is some truth in reports linking him with a big-money move to Chelsea. Jose Mourinho has reportedlymade a £35million move for the Zenit St Petersburg star but the Russian club are said to want closer to the almost £50m they paid Porto in 2012. Mourinho, who returned as Chelsea manager this week, isalso thought to be close to a deal for Bayer Leverkusen forward Andre Schurrle. However, Hulk could be another man on the Stamford Bridge club's list of targets and the player has always appeared keen on a move to the Premier League. Hulk is currently getting readyfor the Confederations Cup with Brazil but, amid the speculation of Chelsea's bid, he is quoted as saying by Globo Esporte: "If I said there was not anything in it, I would be lying. "But that is not for now. I am 100 per cent focused on the national team at the moment. "I came to wear this [Brazil] shirt with pride. My family and my friends are following me. I hope to win the Confederations Cup." Hulk started Brazil's 2-2 friendly draw against England last Sunday but did not score and was booked before being substituted in the 72nd minute.
