Chelsea are in talks with Porto for striker Hulk as a replacement for Didier Drogba, it has been reported.

The powerful 25-year-old striker has ambitions of playing in the Premier League.

Having netted 21 goals in 38 appearances for Porto, he has also attracted interest from AC Milan and Bayern Munich.

Chelsea are looking for a powerful hitman to fill the void created by the exit of Drogba and view Hulk as the ideal choice.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich is in talks with the Portuguese club, who want a massive £38 million, according to the Daily Express.

But Chelsea will not willing to pay more than £30m.

His agent, Teodoro Fonseca, who was at Chelsea's Champions League final against Bayern, said: "We are open to talks with Chelsea at any time, any place.

"There is interest, but at the moment there is still nothing concrete.

"He likes the English Premier League a lot and Chelsea are a good club for Hulk."
