Hulk hints at Porto exit

Porto striker Hulk has dropped a big hint that he is leaving the Portuguese side for Chelsea after thanking club officials and fans.

Chelsea have yet to confirm the deal but it is thought the Brazilian is on the verge of completing a move after the two clubs agreed a fee in the region of £38million. Hulk himself has refused to admit a deal with Chelsea is done but has dropped his biggest hint yet that a move away from Porto is on the cards this summer. "If the time has come to leave Porto, the club and its fans will forever have a place in my heart. I can only thank them for all the affection they've shown me," Hulk stated in an interview with Lancenet. "I will always continue to work hard and keep my feet on the ground, regardless of whether I stay at Porto. I have won many titles in the past four years at Porto, and I think that I have a great relationship with everyone. "If the time has come to move on, I'll do so with a good feeling. I have enjoyed a great time here. I'm sure that they will understand the motives behind my decision if I leave."
