Zenit St. Petersburg striker Hulk has admitted that there is something to recent talk that Chelsea have rekindled their interest in signing him.

The Blues were keen on the Brazilian star before he headed to Russia to sign for Zenit last summer, the Russian giants splurging a whopping €40m to secure him from FC Porto.



The striker has had his problems at Zenit and has often spoken positively about Chelsea. Now the Blues look to have rekindled their interest in signing him, with Hulk refusing to deny the suggestion and insisting if he did he would be lying.

"Chelsea? I’d be lying if I said that there is nothing", Hulk said at a press conference, via Le 10 Sport, before insisting transfer talk must wait.
