Dunga: Hulk is the one they want

Former Brazil coach Dunga has heaped praise on Hulk, saying that the Porto attacker would be a quality addition to any club in world football.

The 25-year-old striker has refused to commit his future to the Portuguese champions as reports continue to suggest that Chelsea, among others, are eager to sign him.

And Dunga, who handed Hulk his first Brazil call-up in 2009, said he is not surprised with the striker’s role in recent matches, and by the interest he has garnered from the big clubs in Europe.

“It is hard to find a player with his characteristics: strength, power, he wins almost every one-on-one situation and can also decide a match with his shots from medium and long range,” Dunga told O JOGO.

“He is a player that every club wants because he is different from everyone else.”

The former Tokyo Verdy ace, who joined Porto in 2008, has a 100 million-euro release clause attached to his contract with the Estadio do Dragao club.
