Andre Villas-Boas is set to return to his former club Porto and attempt to sign Brazilian striker Hulk according to sources.
Villas-Boas was linked to the soon to be 25 year old when he was first appointed at Stamford Bridge and is about to make a concerted effort to bring the striker to London.
Villas-Boas who is also strongly linked to Tottenham’s Luka Modric, sees both players as the final pieces in the jigsaw to enable Chelsea to challenge on all fronts next season.
However, Hulk also known by his full name Givanildo Vieira de Souza, is contracted to the Portuguese club until 2016 and has a staggering 100 million Euros buyout clause, which could prove to be something of a small stumbling block (slight understatement).
Villas-Boas is also next week to step up his pursuit for Tottenham’s Modric, testing Tottenham’s resolve with an improved offer. This could also include a player being offered to Spurs in a part exchange deal.
