Champions League winners eye huge addition

By Brian Lofrumento | 7th June 2012

One of the biggest transfer stories of the summer has been the potential move of FC Porto superstar Hulk. The Brazilian striker has been strongly linked with a blockbuster deal to Champions League winners Chelsea, and as the summer wears on the rumors are gaining more and more momentum.

Now, Chelsea midfielder Ramires has even publicly discussed the rumors, putting added pressure on Roman Abramovich to front the money needed to secure the signing of the attacking powerhouse.

“I’m following here from Brazil the news about Chelsea’s likely signing of Hulk,” Ramires was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.

“I hope he does come, I have played with him for the Brazilian national team, and I also played against him when I was at Benfica and he would surely add a lot to Chelsea’s squad.

“If it was up to me, everything would be done already.”

Chelsea are experiencing a huge revival following their Champions League success, having already signed Belgian wonderkid Eden Hazard. Additionally, the club have been linked with some of Europe’s top names and appear to be ready to challenge for the Premier League crown yet again.
