Zenit's Hulk frustrated at constant Premier League links

Zenit St Petersburg striker Hulk admits constant talk of him joining a Premier League at the end of the season is beginning to frustrate him.

The 26-year old Brazilian only joined the Russian giants last summer but continues to be linked with big clubs in England and elsewhere in Europe. He said that talk is annoying as he is only getting settled with his new team.

"I don't think (I'm in the shop window)," Hulk told reporters. "Each game for me I face the way it is, and I think by now everyone knows me and my football. I've been playing for a long time.

"Every year there is the same speculation, the same stories about where I am going.

"All I know is I'm happy with Zenit, I have a five-year contract with them, and I'm still only 26. I believe the speculation will carry on, but people by now know what I can do.

"I went to Zenit to do my best for the team so we can win titles. That's what I think I've been doing since I've been over there. I believe people like me as a player, and I'm also enjoying my time there."
