Zenit striker Hulk again on Chelsea radar

Zenit St Petersburg striker Hulk has confirmed that Chelsea are showing interest in him again.

The former FC Porto man, who cost Zenit £50million last year, is being tracked by new Blues boss Jose Mourinho but insists he is concentrating on Brazil national team duties for the time being.

"If I said there was not anything in it, I would be lying," he told Globo Esporte.

"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 was also a Chelsea target when his former Porto boss Andre Villas-Boas was at the helm at Stamford Bridge in 2011.
