Hulk will use Olympics to win Chelsea move

 
10 July 2012

Chelsea target Hulk will use the Olympic Games to put himself in the shop window for a move to the Premier League.

The Porto striker was last week named in Brazil's 18-man squad for the London Games and coach Mano Menezes says the player wants to impress.

"Hulk has a will, he has his personal goals", Menezes said. "He is considering his transfer, which is behind this."

The 25-year-old, who has been prolific during his time in Portugal, has also hit back at claims from Brazil legend Romario, who questioned his selection for the Olympics.

"I admire Romario a lot, he was my idol together with Ronaldo, but I do not have anything to prove to anyone", Hulk said.

The striker has long been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge, stating last month: "Chelsea are the current European champions and would please any player and I'm no exception. I'd be happy if the transfer happened."
